Interview
I applied online and then the recruiter contacted me the next day saying that they would like to do a phone interview with me. He first asked me to describe any project that I have worked on, and once we were done with that part, we moved to the coding part, and at the end he allowed me to ask him some questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The coding questions was a candy crush string problem. The input is a string that contains capital letters. If there are three or more same letters in a row, you need to compress them. You need to compress until there are there are no three or more letters are next to each other.
The initial phone interview took about 45 minutes. Asked some basic data structure questions. Wrote code for data structure and algorithms on a code pad. A lot of follow-ups questions were asked. The interviewer was very nice. Overall the interview was not hard.
