Process
I applied online.
The interviewer was engaged and very friendly. He asked me about a project I worked on and the trade-offs that were involved. I stumbled a few times, so I didn't make it to the next round, but I received some good feedback, which left quite a good impression given it was just the first round.
Questions
I can't remember specific questions. Like I said, it was an open-ended discussion about a project that I'd worked on in the past.
