Process
I had two interviews.
Someone emailed me and set up an interview over email. A few days later, I received a call at the agreed time.
The first interview was with someone who seemed very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. They asked deep, challenging questions.
The second person asked straightforward algorithm questions and did not understand the algorithm I was trying to describe to them over the phone.
