Process
I did a 45-minute technical phone interview and heard back a few days later that I wouldn't be moving forward in the recruiting process.
During the interview, the recruiter seemed to really want me to use an advanced data structure, such as a graph or tree, to solve the problem, and I tried to play along.
I eventually tried for an iterative solution but didn't have enough time to finish.
