The interviewer was friendly. First, he described his work. Then, he asked me to describe my work during an intern. Then, we moved on to HackerRank, where I got a programming question.

Question 1
Candy crushing question (can be solved using a stack; can have more optimal solutions too).
(copy-pasted from a previous description on Glassdoor, was asked the same question) 1-D Candy Crush - Given a string, collapse the characters appearing three or more together; on collapsing the new string must be checked for more collapses. Overall the resultant string must not contain any sequence of three or more characters.
