Process
This was a phone interview that lasted one hour. The interviewer was too silent and hardly talked with me. Also, there was little guidance on how to answer the questions, and I was just asked to work on my own. It was just like if you know the solution, then you can answer it. If you don't know such an area, you will not get any hints on how to solve it.
