SAP Developer 27 Jan 2020, Palo Alto CA[Reject]
Recent Grad plus 3 Years of experience in software development
I applied through the company website on 7th January 2020.

Got a mail from recruiter to schedule phone screen.

Phone screen(45 min skype call with code share link):
Engineer from software developer team with 4 year experience.
Ice Breaker – Tell Me about yourself?
The last Project you were working on?

Coding:
Question1 – Given a list of words and string as input, Identify if that string can be made from the given list of words?
Example : list_of_words = [“what”, “is”, “San Francisco”, “SAP”, “Job”], string – where is SAP located. For this case you should return False. And if there are two occurrences of a word in string but only one occurrence in list_of_words then also you should return False.

Question2:

Find minimum distance of every letter in the given word from a given alphabet.
Example: word = “sustainable” and alphabet = “a” you should return [3,2,1,0,1,1,0,1,2,3]
Explanation distance of s which is a index 0 to nearest a which is at index 4 is 3 and so on.
