Process
Overall, a good experience. A great company with good people. The company is doing some great work, and the people are very smart.
My interviews went fine, but my solutions probably weren't the best, and thus I was rejected. Make sure to explain your solutions very well and be clear in your thought process.
Easy algorithm questions and questions that require basic OOPs knowledge.
