Software Engineer Interview Experience - Littleton, Massachusetts

Process

I applied online and was contacted a few weeks later by the hiring manager. He called me and asked me questions about my resume, including questions about teamwork experience and similar topics.

Afterwards, I was emailed to set up an on-site interview. They flew me out to their location a few weeks later. There, I met with the hiring manager, a software engineer I would possibly work with, and a project manager who would most likely end up being my boss.

The hiring manager didn't ask me many questions, as he had already spoken with me. The software engineer asked me some technical questions (e.g., "write a method that does this") and some OOP conceptual questions (e.g., "what would this program do?"). The project manager asked more in-depth questions about my resume, including how well I work with others and similar behavioral questions.

A couple of weeks later, they emailed me an offer, and I accepted.

Questions

Write a method that determines if a string is a palindrome.
