Process
I had a 2-hour technical interview with two engineers.
One of the questions was the elevator design problem, and the other was: given a dictionary and a word, find all English words that are anagrams of it.
The interviewer interrupted me frequently to explain why she didn't want the solution I was presenting, which made it difficult to think.
Questions
Anagram questions.
An interviewer wanted a very specific other way to do it.
