Software Quality Assurance Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The hiring process was very smooth. I was called by a senior recruiter and given a description of the job.
Then I spoke with the manager of the team, followed by a call the following week with two engineers via FaceTime.
I received a call the next day confirming they were willing to offer me the position.
The questions were not very difficult and focused on basic Data Structures and OOP concepts. One of the engineers asked me to explain how to write a program to find a palindrome, ignoring symbols in the string.
Questions
Check if a word is a palindrome by ignoring the symbols present in the word.
For example:
$AA,^G(O&Gare palindromes.A%B,$, and#RT^are not.
