Process

I applied through college. After going through basic resume checking with a coordinator, I had a phone interview. The interviewer used a Google Doc.

It was really difficult to hear the interviewer over the phone, so at one point I had to ask him to write the question on the Google Doc.

Questions

Write code to check if a string is a palindrome.
