United StatesPosted Mar 2017 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for Software Engineer with an OA followed by phone rounds where the questions were standard, but success required thorough preparation.

OA + phone OA (Lytmus) — I took an OA and then a Lytmus-style challenge with two questions, similar in nature to a prior year challenge.
Phone interview — On the phone call (about 40–45 minutes), I was asked basic OOP concepts and array questions, plus discussion of my resume projects and work experience.
Interviewer tone — In one version of this journey, the interviewer was very nice and even provided hints when needed. Outcome: I didn’t get the offer; the takeaway was that being able to explain and code clearly on fundamentals and resume-driven topics mattered.
