Process
I applied at the university Career Fair. The process took one week.
I had a phone interview with an engineer that was purely technical. The interviewer wasn't very helpful when I got stuck with the syntax; the program must compile and run, so you have to know the exact syntax.
Questions
Write a program that receives a text, parses it according to some rules, and returns the most repeated words. The program has to run, and you can choose the programming language.
