Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Received a phone call from the interview coordinator/recruiting manager to set up a phone screen.

The phone screen went well, so the recruiter then set up a technical phone screen with a software engineer.

The technical interview consisted of answering coding questions online via a Google Docs form shared between the interviewer and myself.

Questions

Given two sets of data of unknown size and of the same type, sets A and B, find all occurrences of A that are also in B.
