Technical Coding Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was really good and professional. First, I talked to the group manager. They had me describe a past system and then design a new one. Next was a coding test, not too hard if you can code efficiently. The HR interview was at their really nice offices. We had a great chat, and I learned more about the company. I then asked to chat with the group lead again for project specifics, which sounds really cool. I took another job in the end, but honestly, I wish I could have taken this one too.

Coding Behavioral Technical
The interview process was quite long, with 5 interviews in total. There were 3 programming interviews, one with HR, and one with the group manager. The programming interviews were fair and the interviewers were nice. The manager interview was fine. The HR interview was a bad experience though; the interviewer seemed to really want me to say bad things about myself. She also asked about old stuff, like why I chose computer science over 20 years ago. I had a feeling they wouldn't offer me the job, but the HR person called me a week later saying they were impressed and to let them know if I got another offer. It took another week for the final rejection.

- How would you compare strings under specific conditions, such as considering the order of characters?
