I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter. We had an initial interview where we discussed my past experience, etcetera. Later, I was scheduled for a technical interview with an engineer. They only schedule technical interviews for Mondays or Fridays.

The first interviewer canceled less than half an hour before the interview was scheduled to start. I rescheduled for a week later (as they only conduct technical interviews on Mondays or Fridays). The technical interview was conducted via a shared editor web app while we talked on the phone. I could choose any major programming language. The interviewer was nice, very personable, and helpful.

The problem was to construct a data structure for a card game. The format involved implementing and testing various parts of the game step by step. I believe I reached the last section but did not quite complete it within the allotted time. I received a generic rejection email the next business day stating, "we have decided to move forward with other candidates."

Design and code a data structure for a card that has three attributes.

Write a data structure for a deck of cards.

Write a method to shuffle the deck of cards.

Write a method to determine if the attributes of three cards all match or are all different.
