Process
The interview was well organized, with clear steps provided. It began with theory questions, followed by a coding portion. I shared my screen with the interviewer and received a link to code.
I was given a choice of programming language. I could scribble notes or pseudocode before writing, compiling, and testing my solution.
Questions
The technical questions were related to the job and had no digressions. I liked the coding questions.
