Process
The interview process was smooth. I forwarded my resume to the recruiter.
I received a coding challenge within a few days. It involved simple data structure questions.
After that, a one-hour phone screen was scheduled. The interviewer was pretty nice and helpful throughout the call. They started by asking about my resume and a few technical questions, followed by two coding questions. The second one was difficult, and I got the answer after a few errors.
