Phone interview
Discuss your resume
Design a mechanism to prevent deadlocks.
2 bit manipulation questions (had to do in C) , they were based on flipping bits to reverse the bits in a 64 bit word.
Last question I had to do in python, was asked to manipulate a stream of data, and rebuild it into an adjacency list.
Overall, I didnt think I would get it as it was (to me, other than the palindrome question) pretty intense.
