Process

I didn't particularly enjoy the interview. I think the interviewer was French, and I had some difficulty understanding his questions. He presented some Java code, and I was required to solve a basic linear search problem. However, I only understood the problem in the last three minutes. It would have been much better if the phone connection was better and if I had a more effective interviewer.

Questions

Identify the best alert. Given an alert, find the closest area that the alert must be sent to. Had some Java code in front, and had to complete it.
