Process
I completed one of their coding challenges and was scheduled for a phone interview with one of their engineers.
Apparently, they tend to choose the interviewer based on your race to make you feel comfortable.
The interview was 45 minutes to an hour, with some routine questions and job introduction at the beginning, and one or two technical questions.
I was able to get a basic implementation running and was starting to debug. The interviewer was rather impatient and hung up after 45 minutes.
