Process
The whole process was super slow, taking around 3 months.
First, a 4-hour coding assessment.
Second, a half-hour session asking about my resume and two simple coding questions: FizzBuzz and moving all zeros to the end of the array.
Third, a one-hour coding session with questions about checking the winner of Tic-Tac-Toe and designing a poker deck.
I did not make it to the on-site interview. Overall, it was very easy, but I don't know why I did not get to the on-site.
Questions
Check the winner of Tic-Tac-Toe. Design a deck of poker (draw and shuffle).
Fizz Buzz. Move zeros.
