Process
The first phone interview was a laid-back conversation with an HR representative. The most likely purpose was to ensure you were at least a competent person.
Next, there was a technical phone interview where you were asked to write a given algorithm in any language you preferred. The question was not difficult, though I somewhat "messed it up," which resulted in me not receiving an offer.
Questions
What does your code typically look like?
Write an algorithm that tells me if exactly two numbers in a 1x3 array are the same.
