Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview was about an hour. The recruiter asked only one simple question: how to intersect two arrays. I misunderstood the question at first, and then wrote down the code. He also asked about how to test the function and how to improve its performance. The question was simple, but I didn't do very well. Too nervous.
