Process

I was contacted by a recruiter, and we had a very informative and pleasant chat.

Next, I had an interview over the phone, which wasn't too difficult.

After that, they invited me on-site.

I was interviewed by four engineers. The questions were quite challenging, so be sure to review all your CS coursework.

Questions
