Process

I applied through the careers website and was contacted thereafter by an email for a short phone screen by the Project Manager.

He scheduled two technical phone interviews in the following two weeks.

The first interview consisted of designing an application, identifying its functional requirements and justifying the tools I would use to implement them. I was also asked three puzzle problems and one coding problem. They were difficult, but the interviewer guided me to the correct solution, unlike in other interviews I have given in the past.

The second interview consisted of questions related to my career goals and a description of the project's requirements.

Both the interviewers and the Project Manager were extremely polite and forthcoming.

Alas, I wasn't selected as they found better candidates than me. Being a college grad is tough.

Questions

Typical puzzle problems you find online, and one data structure coding problem.
