Question 1
Tell me about a time you faced an obstacle and how did you resolve it?
Initial phone screen with Recruiter was actually enjoyable. Then came the coding interview. The recruiter provided a lot of good information about the process, but some of the advice provided was misleading. Coding interview was challenging - the interviewer's accent made the conversation very hard to understand.
