Process
Contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn.
A phone interview was set up one week after initial contact.
On the day of the interview, the interviewer contacted me and sent a link for an online document editor.
The interview lasted 45 minutes.
The interviewer began by asking about my most interesting project, which took less than 5 minutes.
The interviewer then allocated the rest of the time to solve a programming problem.
The last 5 minutes were reserved for me to ask the interviewer questions.
The question was fair, not a brain teaser. The interviewer was very nice and helpful.
