Interview
Applied online, sent a coding snapshot which was fairly easy (array and string problems) along with more detailed survey. After completing the snapshot I was sent another survey which I filled out and I never heard back after that.

Interview
Coding interview online where I had to solve two problems, both I would say were leetcode level easy. They did not care about efficiency here but for correctness. This followed two 45 min interview (back to back). I didn't finish the first one although I was on my way to. Made a ton of mistakes but the interviewer was helpful and guided me. The second interviewer was friendlier but stayed quiet and asked me more abstract questions about framework design as I was solving the problem. Leet code easy-medium for both. I thought I did horrible in both but I guess talking and speaking my thoughts helped. Showed my interest in a certain section of the software and had a good convo about it. Currently in host matching.
