Process
First phone interview.
Prepare a PC to code. The interviewer will call you to guide you through the system. You can clarify or ask anything to the interviewer; he was very chill. The interview was language-agnostic, although I think they would prefer O'Caml functional programming more.
Questions
Basic programming with the provided IDE.
