Process
After I applied, I was sent a coding exercise. I did not pass the coding exercise, so I did not go on to the next stage. Nonetheless, it was a pleasant experience.
Questions
I was asked to code a simple calculator that adds and multiplies. I was also asked a question about how many horses there are from a string that has multiple 'neighs' in it.
