Process
The first interview was over the phone. It was very relaxed, basically going over your most recent job activities.
The second interview was a technical interview conducted using Coderpad.io. The interviewer gave you a problem, and you coded it up while they asked questions about your choices as you progressed.
Questions
The second interview was all centered around creating a datastore class. It started as simple key/value pairs. The complexity of the class increased as the need arose to store timestamps associated with when the values were stored and to retrieve a value based on a timestamp.
