289 web software engineer interview questions shared by candidates

On the 1st interview they asked me a few "number of digits need to code octet" and some bits and bytes types of questions which I successfully failed but it didn't seem to have affected the 1st interview much and I was still passed to the 2nd one.

Write a function which will determine if a given string is palindrome or not. bool ispalindrome(string input); I was able to complete the problem and even the interviewer seemed satisfied with the solution. Test Cases: "racecar" => true "!!a!" => true "abc" => false "a" => true "A Man, A Plan, A Canal – Panama!" => true

The phone screen wasn't very fun or challenging. Mostly trivia questions (i.e. What is a css-sprite?) All the questions were the kind of questions you could google and easily find as the first result, no actual problem-solving required. The only algorithm question was "what is the best case time complexity to sum a list of numbers." The coding test was to build a connect four app using html/css/js. No grading criteria was given, nor did I receive any feedback besides the rejection.
