      Interview

      I got an email from recruiter saying they were interested. I said I am interested, and they proceed to send a coding snapshot interview. I had to code on a Google provided website. They asked 2 technical questions and give you 90 minutes to complete. Then you also completed a survey.

      It was confidential. But essentially two coding questions that you can program in C,C++,Java,Python, etc.
