Process
A recruiter tried to contact you through LinkedIn, and then there was a scheduled phone call. You have to take a very serious online quiz: one for SQL and one for Python. Everything is very fast-paced; if you haven't come up with a solution within 10 seconds, the interviewers will move to the next one. I was able to get all the questions right, but I was a little slow, which they didn't like.
Questions
Try to get a pattern out of string or JSON. Ask you to translate numbers from 1 to 100 to names of numbers (for example, 34 translated to thirty-four). You need to come up with a solution within 10 seconds. I am able to get it done within 2 minutes. That's not fast enough.
