Process
Initial discussion with recruiter over the phone.
Online screening with an engineer - 45 minutes and 10 minutes at the end for questions. This contains a coding problem in 3 parts.
Questions
Some very easy hashmap operations. The problem text is extremely long, and they are giving it to you in 3 parts, all very lengthy.
As others have stated, they only care about code completion. No clean code principles are taken into account, nor extensive testing.
