I applied online and scheduled a phone interview with one of the engineers from the team. There were couple questions on basic concepts but also a few coding questions. The coding questions used an online text editor where you and the interviewer can co-edit, but the first program I used during this interview was a little glitchy but he had a backup so we were able to finish the interview using another editor.
Was asked to write code for a given question. Interviewer disagreed to my solution for a question on doubly linked list [which was correct way of doing it), and never listened.
