During the phone interview, the coding question was done on a google doc and asked: In Java, given a String of [a-z] characters, find and return the first character that appears only once. I implemented it using a counting array and in the end the manager asked if I could implement it in another way, which I mentioned I could do it using a HashMap.

Probably the most difficult question they asked me was, he put a binary tree on the whiteboard and I had to write a function that would find if the tree was symmetrical or not. Anyone who's familiar with data structures and recursion should be fine with this, just don't freak out when they propose the question.
