Process
I was contacted by a recruiter and scheduled a virtual on-site interview.
I know I did not do well in that interview because I could not answer some questions about a project I completed three years ago.
Afterward, I was ghosted for about two or three weeks before receiving a rejection letter.
Questions
Spent about 40 minutes discussing a project about which I forgot many of the details. Then I was asked about the LRU cache for a coding question.
