Here's phone question # 1: What is an anagram? A word, phrase, or name formed by rearranging the letters of another, such as cinema, formed from iceman. Assumptions: 1) An anagram of a word is the same length as the word. 2) You can assume for this exercise that any word is composed of unique characters, i.e., only one occurence of any given character. 3) Assume all characters are lower case, if they are letters. Write a method that given a single word and a dictionary text file (csv of words), returns a set of all anagrams of that word from the dictionary. In: Word is 'act', CSV is 'tac, cat, taa, tact' Out: 'tac, cat'

NDA but the phone interviews were easier than average. Code challenge for mobile was a pre-set up project with bugs/other stuff for you to fix, as well as some small features for you to add. Onsite included some pair programming, a brain teaser, algorithm/data structure fundamentals, and ofc some behavioral/background questions.

They asked me to code up a simple parser, but the question was worded in such a way that I don't think the guy asking the question actually knew that he was trying to ask me to code a simple parser. The interviewer was looking for something but seemed to be unable to articulate what it was he wanted, other than just a number for output.
