Two-part interview.

I was shown a piece of code and was asked to identify issues with it (a code review sort of exercise). This generally involved spotting bad code smells and the use of the right data structures.

The second part was to write code/algorithms for:

1. The valid parenthesis problem.
2. Finding the length of the longest matching letters of a given word from a dictionary of words.
