Process
You'll have to go through a code challenge for them to contact you.
I was only able to get a few of the test cases right. It was tough, but I believe it helped test your coding skills.
Questions
The code challenge involved recursion, an area where I wasn't very strong. They gave us 90 minutes to finish the challenge.
