Was contacted by the recuiter for a position at FRL and was hitched up for phone interiew.

1. After some domain level questions. I was asked a question similar to dot product of sparse vectors.
   Did that pretty easily. Interviewer was very satisfied (or seemed like).

After a week recruiter informs that the head count is full so the group is not accepting anyone. No mas!!! Go figure.

Should have first guessed this as the interviewer was lollygagging at first and then asked one LC almost easy question
