Interview process
I was given a PDF of questions related to the card game. I was asked to choose a language, I chose Python, and then I had to write complex Python logic to simulate the Card game amongst 4 players. The logic was not that hard; what was hard was that we had to write a lot of code in a very short amount of time. The interviewer was very helpful and asked me to correct my mistakes pretty early, which saved me some precious time.
