Surprisingly, when I got to the technical round, the palindrome question was something I had worked through on PracHub just days before. The interviewer asked me to explain the two-pointer approach, and I felt ready to discuss edge cases and complexity thanks to my prep. Before that, there was a recruiter screen that felt pretty standard, leading to a brief phone interview. Overall, it was an easy process, and while I did receive an offer, I ultimately decided to decline.

Question 1
Given a string s, return true if it is a palindrome, considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring case. Walk through the two-pointer approach, handle edge cases like empty strings and single characters, and discuss time/space complexity.
J'ai postulé via une agence de recrutement. J'ai passé un entretien chez OneMain Financial en mars 2023
Entretien
It sucked honestly. No clear steps, people late or not showing up, different interviewers asking the same stuff and not knowing what the role even was. Felt rushed but also dragged out. Communication bad, follow ups slow, whole thing felt unorganized and kind of careless.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
They mostly asked vague questions like how do you deal with pressure, how fast can you move, and random technical stuff that didn’t seem related to the actual job. Also felt like they didn’t agree on what they wanted.
The interviewer left the interview and interrupted my thought process when answering a question, asked highly esoteric questions and ended the interview early.
There aren’t even 30 words to describe the interview.
