The interview involved a phone screen, then 1:1 interviews with 6 people. These lasted more than 5 hours, which was really tiresome. The questions I got mostly matched one from a guy who posted his interview here. They asked very tricky questions like finding the longest palindrome, multiplication with shifting, finding the next larger number that's a power of 2, and a compression algorithm, etc.

I did fairly okay on the programming questions, but honestly, those questions were quite disconnected from my background and experience.

I heard nothing after the interview and pinged the recruiting staff. He said he was going to circle back to me in a day. Two days it has been, and still nothing.

As a working professional, I respected the company and the interview process, so I do expect at least to hear something back. I think that's not too much to ask, I believe.

Longest palindrome in a string.
