Process
The interview was 45 minutes long. It started with 5 minutes of informal conversation, followed by the technical questions. You have approximately 15 minutes per problem, so keep this in mind when practicing at home.
Set a timer, speak out loud while you're solving the problems, and do everything you can to simulate the actual interview.
Nerves can be a significant factor, so be aware of this. I'll explain why this is important later.
Anyway, the interviewer was nice. He provided example inputs, assisted, and offered hints. I actually answered both questions correctly and felt things went well. I definitely thought I would advance to the on-site interview.
