Process
Quick 15-minute phone screen with a recruiter.
The recruiter asked some multiple-choice questions about Android development.
I was approved for the next stage, a technical phone screen interview.
An email with extensive interview preparation material was sent.
The technical phone screen interview was conducted via a screenshare platform, where I was asked two different algorithm-type questions.
The first question was rather easy and involved a standard hash table.
The second question involved bit manipulation, which I had not expected.
Even the interviewer had trouble giving me hints or help.
I was not accepted for the next stage, the onsite interview.
Questions
5 Multiple Choice Android Development/API questions.
2 Algorithm/Data Structure Questions.
