I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at KANERAI (New York, NY) in Oct 2019
Interview
Passed an online coding test and was invited to an on-site interview. All coding questions. It was a good interview experience, the interviewer was knowledgeable and willing to discuss along the test.

Interview
I was emailed a timed coding test to solve six questions in sixty minutes. There is just no way in which anyone can solve them in an hour without having seen the questions before or without extensive help. Two hours would be appropriate.
The third question in the set was deceitfully worded, with a critical detail left out of the description and the examples both. It was worse, as they don’t seem to know the meaning of the word “adjacent”. I did manage to figure out the solution. Due to this deception, however, I voluntarily withdrew from the interview process.
For `p` items, a job takes O(p**2) to run if using just one computer (c=1). If the job is run on `c` computers instead, the job takes O(c**2) to combine the results from the c computers. What is the best number of computers on which to run the job?
Given a list of positive integers, select the first lowest value. If there is a value to the left and/or right of the first lowest value, select them too. Remove the selected values from the list. Repeat the procedure until there is nothing left in the list. For example, given [3 2 1 1 2 4 6 5], you will first select the min 1 and remove [2 1 1], then select the min 2 and remove [3 2 4], then select 5 and remove [6 5]. The sum of your selections are 1 + 2 + 5 = 8 which is the answer.

Interview
Online assessment of 5 questions with Hackerrank. A linux command question, a general coding question, a sql/pandas, a REST API question. Time is kind of tight. Did not move forward after the OA.
