Process
I applied online and scheduled a phone interview with one of the engineers from the team. There were a couple of questions on basic concepts, but also a few coding questions. The coding questions used an online text editor where you and the interviewer could co-edit. However, the first program I used during this interview was a little glitchy, but the engineer had a backup, so we were able to finish the interview using another editor.
