Process
The first step was a chat with the recruiter. The second step was a phone screen. I thought I did well, but I was rejected.
The recruiter and the interviewer were nice, though.
The interview was for a general software engineer role. Based on my skills and preference, they were going to decide which team would fit me best.
Questions
The interviewer asked a standard coding question, and I was able to solve it.
However, I was rejected after a day, and I don't know why.
He also asked what I was looking for, but stated that my answer wouldn't affect the interview result.
