Process

The phone screening round started with a general introduction, and then I was given the programming question.

Overall, it was a good experience. The interviewer was nice and helpful along the way.

However, I felt the question was slightly advanced and took more time than allotted, especially if you are tackling the question for the first time.

Questions

  1. Write a program to check if a string is a palindrome.

  2. Given a list of words, find the word pairs that, when concatenated, form a palindrome.
