Process
The first round was with a recruiter and lasted 15-20 minutes. They asked about my work experience.
The second round was a coding interview. I was able to complete the code, though with a few hints from the interviewer.
Unfortunately, I was not able to impress them with the code I wrote, even though it was correct.
