Process
I underwent an online problem-solving test, followed by a behavioral test, both of which I passed. The third test was a programming challenge, which I failed. I believe the next step was a phone interview.
Questions
The programming challenge involved:
- A fairly intense data analysis question.
- A simple data structures problem.
