Process
Applied online. The recruiter called, asking standard questions.
Then, I was scheduled for a phone interview with the manager. It involved general resume-related questions and a coding challenge. I fumbled a bit during the coding question and couldn't get the code 100% right within the given 10-15 minutes. Although the other parts of the interview went fine, I think they expect 100% coding proficiency in a very short time. I am sure my approach was the optimal one.
