Process
Pretty standard resume drop -> phone screen -> final round by phone. They also offered a mock phone screen, which had questions that were substantially easier than the real phone screen and the final round. Final round consisted of another live coding session (similar to phone screen) as well as a timed "take home" assignment that you emailed back.
