Process
LeetCode screening.
There were three separate algorithm questions.
I had three hours to complete them, but I finished in about 1.5 hours.
My answers were accepted to the next round, but I declined to move on due to Java/Python being the only supported languages.

It was three LeetCode medium-level questions, not terribly difficult.
