First phone interview was not like the rest on here. No algorithm questions were given, but about 100 lines of code written in a C-based language like Java but not quite. I had to understand code that I had never seen before like what it does it do (answer: if you get 3 of the same colors in a row you get a match point and you win if the score is >= 3) and change the match point algorithm to where you can get points for 4 and 5 colors in a row. The only problem was the interviewer was so poor in trying to communicate what he wanted me to do that I took too long to figure it out. Almost everything I tried he said wouldn't work, which was wrong but the interviewer is king I guess. Thus, I failed. There is really no way to prepare for this type of interview.

I was emailed by HR for my resume and was then asked to email available times for an interview. The process was fairly straightforward and they responded quickly. My first phone interview had a coding question on an online codesharing site CoderPad. I was only asked one coding question, but didnt finish the question in time. After the coding question they'll ask about runtime. They responded quickly (same day) with my notice that I wasnt right for the part, but overall it was a good experience.
