October 8, 2016
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

First interview, all remote.

No interaction with people, so it can be very difficult because you can't ask for explanations and they can't follow your reasoning throughout the process.

Codability and video interview.

Response in 1 week.

Questions

Basic programming stuff.

Signed NDA, so I can't reveal the questions.

Anyway, complexity, Big O notation knowledge, and algorithms are mandatory to solve the quizzes.
