I met the recruiter at a career expo by my university. A few weeks later, we scheduled a phone interview. The phone interview was supposed to be 15 minutes but only lasted about 5. The recruiter speaking over the phone was very nice, but the noise from their environment made it a bit difficult to listen. It also felt as if they were rushing to finish the call and just spat a bunch of information at me. It was pretty much an overview of the intern program at Yelp and making sure that you're sane enough. After the phone interview, they sent a coding challenge via HackerRank.

The challenge from HackerRank was 28 minutes and had 15 questions.

• 14 questions were quick technical questions that can be found on Glassdoor.
• The last question was a coding question in which you had to submit code.

28 minutes was kind of odd. I think 2 more minutes would have allowed me to fix my output. Because I didn't get to, I messed up and didn't proceed with the interview process.

Given a string, print true or false if you can create a palindrome with it.
