Process

I took the HackerRank challenge in mid-September. A recruiter reached out a few days later to inform me that I had achieved a perfect score.

A technical interview was scheduled shortly after.

The recruiter then called to tell me I had passed and that they would like to conduct a final technical phone screen. This one was slightly harder than the first, but not unmanageable.

Recruiters and my interviewers were very friendly and made the process smooth.
