Interview
Practical coding screen with two engineers. Despite excellent communication, solving the problem and walking through a solution, they're expecting perfection. You need to perform without skipping a beat and don't expect that any friendliness from interviewers translates to doing well. You need to have an answer right away without more than a few minutes to think, that's the "bar" apparently.
