Process
The first round was just a phone call. The recruiter was very nice, and it almost seemed like a foregone conclusion that you would make it to the next round.
The second round was a live, paired programming coding exam with six problems: three in Python and three in SQL.
Questions
Solve 3 problems in Python and 3 in SQL. The problems weren't that challenging, but the time constraint was difficult. They resembled the medium-level problems given to you on the practice website and were very similar to LeetCode medium-level questions.
