Process
Take-home 2-hour coding assessment. The problem essentially required implementing a Breadth-First Search (BFS) over a weighted map. This was done over the Codility platform, which was a little stressful. The editor they built in has zero syntax help or IntelliSense features. This was a small thing that really peeved me the entire time because I felt like it was grading me on syntax rather than design and solution.
Questions
No further interviews. I met with the recruiter; she said she would set me up with another interview with the team, and it didn't happen. I scored 95/100 on the assessment.
