This review focuses mainly on the phone and technical interview.

The phone interview went well. The JR person explained the company and what it does very clearly and concisely. The atmosphere was relaxed, but I remained guarded so as not to say too much.

The next portion of the interviewing process was the technical interview. It started with a coding challenge done using the Interview Street website.

There were two coding problems to solve in two hours. Some samples are available to get a feeling for the tests.

I thought that the tests were a little heavy in their use of container classes, like STL, to solve the problems.

The time limit and the way the technical interview, with its coding challenge, proceeded made me feel like I was hacking a solution instead of showing Two Sigma my abilities.
