I was referred by a friend and then contacted by a recruiter. He scheduled the phone interview for a couple of days later.

The interview experience was really bad. The interviewer had a thick accent; he was Chinese, and I found it a bit hard to understand him.

He presented himself as working at a different company than Airbnb (lol), corrected himself, and then we jumped right into the coding question. He provided an example of input and that was it. I had to determine the requirements myself.

I explained my solution, and he told me to code it. Then, thirty minutes of my monologue followed. The interviewer muted himself and did not answer any of my questions. He probably thought I was just asking rhetorical questions. He did not communicate at all. It was really awkward.

I think they should prepare their interviewers more, because they do not seem to have any idea how to conduct an interview.

Given a list of host IDs, put them into pages of size 12. Ensure you don't have any duplicates, as much as possible.
