The interviewer was pretty nice, but then I got rejected without any explanation. I thought it went well, so it would have been good to get some feedback. That's a definite red flag for me.

Coding Technical
The interview process was straightforward. They proactively answered my questions beforehand, which helped me feel more prepared and at ease. Throughout the interview, my interviewer, Louis, was present and actively engaged. He managed the time for each segment effectively. Despite being younger and still in his learning phase, he maintained a high level of professionalism. I felt confident and focused on the task. I did get nervous, especially towards the end when my program succeeded in 5 out of 6 test cases, and I had to pinpoint the issue. The pressure to find my mistake was intense.

- Write an algorithm to determine if a specific word exists within a character set, essentially a dictionary. Then, extend this algorithm to check if a given dictionary (like "uahbhyb") contains any words from a provided list: "table", "pencil", "baby", "pen". If multiple words are present, return the first one encountered.
- Given a dictionary string (e.g., "uahbhyb"), determine if any of the words "table", "pencil", "baby", or "pen" are present within it. The task is to return the first word found in the dictionary. This exercise tests understanding of programming language syntax and computational complexity.
