Interview
Was sent coding challenge and passed. Then got phone interview. Questions were very easy but not the type of thing that CS majors learn at least where I go to school. A bunch of Python tricks that can be easy looked up on stack overflow.. 7 easy questions where you either know it or you don't. Not at all like the DP problems I was expecting
