Process

Went straight to on-site university recruiting.

Four questions were asked on-site.

Received a callback a month later with an offer.

The on-site interview was very normal, with four rounds, and one algorithm question per round. Interviewers did not ask any personal questions as expected; they just asked me to solve the algorithm question, and that was it.

Questions

Creating an AND iterator over two extremely large sets (only show an element if it's in both sets).
