Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter and had a phone interview. The first 15 minutes were dedicated to introducing myself, followed by a coding challenge. However, it was different as I was asked to implement an interface. I was allowed to write code in a Google Doc, which was awkward and the formatting was awful.

Questions

Given sorted arrays from disk, network, and memory, write an interface to sort the data.
