Process
Interview via Skype after having contact with a recruiter.
I met the recruiter at a programming camp in Latin America.
First, I had a Skype meeting with the recruiter, and then I had one with an engineer.
The test with the engineer was via Skype, using a common IDE so he could see what I was writing.
Questions
The question was rather simple. He said, "I gave you a function which only copies 50 bytes of memory, and it answers how many bytes it didn't read. Having this function, how would you implement a function to copy a given number of bytes?"
