Process
I didn't pass the resume filtering, but they sent a link for a programming challenge.
I solved a randomly chosen problem and was then given an opportunity for a phone interview.
The interviewer seemed to be a junior engineer and made several mistakes. I also made a number of mistakes during the coding test.
The interview lasted for 45 minutes, after which they decided not to continue.
