It was a friendly and positive atmosphere. They asked a lot of questions about C++, my knowledge, background, skills, and work experience. It wasn't too long, and I think I answered everything correctly.

Coding Technical Technical
First, I had a take-home task to check my Java programming skills. It needed basic Java and multithreading knowledge, pretty easy for someone with experience. Then, I had a Skype interview where I did a small test in C++ and Java and wrote code in a shared document. The final step was an in-office interview, involving more Java coding and questions about Android OS.
