Process
Nice and streamlined process from three interviewers. One of the evaluators wasn't well-trained; he just asked for a very small socket communication program, which was available readily. When I used some snippets from Stack Overflow and completed the task in 10 minutes, he said that's all and later rejected.
Questions
Socket programming using Python in the programming test. A lot of networking-related questions.
