Process

Phone interview via Webex, which showed slides online. There were a bunch of programming questions on the slides. Questions ranged from simple algorithm questions, like finding anagrams, to more complicated design and debugging questions.

A 1:1 interview was more of a personality test. The interviewer asked mostly about how I resolved various issues, which could be technical or non-technical. We talked about my experience in previous internships and jobs. The interviewer and I got into a very interesting discussion about compilers and agile development processes, and then we ran out of time. The interviewer liked me and hired me for his team.

Questions

Given a string, how do you find a list of anagrams from an English dictionary (or just the dictionary file in Unix)?
