Process

I submitted my resume when they came to give a tech talk at my school.

First, a recruiter contacted me and asked some easy technical questions. These were questions that could be answered in one sentence.

Then, I had a phone interview with one of their engineers. He asked me some concurrency questions, such as deadlock and the dining philosophers problem.
