Question 1
Several questions about Java basics, Rest Web services. One algorithm question: " Given a string, write a function to check if it is a permutation of a palindrome.
A palindrome is a word or phrase that is the same forwards and backwards. A permutation
is a rearrangement of letters. The palindrome does not need to be limited to just dictionary words.
EXAMPLE

Output: True (permutations: "taco cat". "atco cta". etc.) "
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Groupon in Jun 2016
Interview
The interviewer had no idea what he was interviewing me for. Least he was interested in my background, experience or in me. He straight away jumped in to coding and we were done, of course with a few questions which I asked in the end.
