Process
Friendly conversation with HR, followed by an online technical interview.
The person conducting the technical interview seemed very irritated, as if they just wanted to get the process over with and end the call.
Most of the "technical" questions were very first-year computer science level.
The code test required writing a function to compare two strings and determine if they were anagrams of each other without using any libraries.
Questions
What is Object-Oriented Programming?
What is polymorphism?
What is the Big-O efficiency of the string comparing problem I had to write?
