Process
The recruiter reached out to me after I connected on LinkedIn and asked me to complete a one-hour online coding assessment. After the coding assessment, there would have been an interview with a software engineer.
Questions
There were three sections: testing, multiple choice, and a coding question.
The first question was to fix an error in the code and ensure it ran.
The second section was multiple choice, and there were about 5-10 questions; I don't remember the exact number.
The last section was a coding question.
