Process
The recruiter contacted me via email and arranged a technical phone interview.
I'm a little disappointed, though, as the interview was scheduled for 6:00 PM Eastern Time.
During the phone interview (using collabedit.com), the interviewer asked two coding questions:
- The deepest common ancestor of two nodes of a tree.
- All permutations of a string.
The questions were reasonable, but I failed to solve the second one. Also, the interviewer thought I wasn't engaging enough (didn't talk much).
Was this helpful?
