I applied for the position of a new grad through the website.

The process took over two months, though most of that was waiting for my rounds of interviews to begin.

They started me off with a coding assignment that I completed on my computer. I was then given approximately 30 minutes to finish it.

After passing that, they assigned me to a phone interview. Similarly to what others have said, it was conducted through SSH. The interviewers were very nice and helpful; I actually learned a few things from them.

Unfortunately, though, I was not advanced because my C concepts were not strong enough (I slipped up on a few questions, like memory management), despite my coding skills being great.

How would you detect palindromes?
