Process
HR screening was the first, followed by a technical interview.
HR screening was brief, with nothing significant to report on that side.
During the technical interview, I had two exercises:
- SQL statement reading and writing, involving fairly simple joins.
- An algorithm to write in any language that finds the longest palindrome within a string.
