Process
I applied online and heard back the next day. They gave me study material and resources to prepare for a phone interview.
The phone interview is tough. The level of difficulty is not bad, but the pressure of being on the phone and having to code in a short period of time may cloud your mind.
Questions
I received two questions.
The first was: Print out all possible strings that a phone number can produce. For instance, 2 -> A, B, C and 3 -> D, E, F. So if the input is 23, then the output should be "AD, AE, AF, BD, etc."
The second question was: If you had multiple points (x,y), find the n closest points to the origin (0,0).
