Process

An initial phone talk was followed by a take-home assignment. Feedback came in a couple of working days, stating there were failed test cases, and the process stopped there. Although claiming to only care about "smartness" and not the programming language, etc., the take-home exam can hardly embody such principles. The recruiter was nice, though.

Questions

Take-home assignment on a small project.

Claims taking 30-90 minutes, but could be much longer. They actually might expect candidates to spend quite some time on it to pass all corner test cases.
