Process
I applied online after a recommendation by a friend.
They contacted me for an online coding interview, scheduled three weeks after that.
The interviewer was super nice, and I coded the question he asked me.
However, I made a wrong assumption about the first problem, which he pointed out to me, and I then fixed my solution.
Despite this, I wasn't offered the chance for a second interview.
