Process

Applied through email and completed one round of phone interview. It was easy, asking many basic and some open-ended questions about SQL, C/C++/Java, focusing on basic usage and OOP concepts with some hard bonus questions. Coding questions were also easy, involving simple string manipulations. I received an on-site invitation several days later.
