Quantitative Engineering Interview Experience - Canada
Process
I applied through a campus recruiter. The recruiter was very nice and arranged the phone interview very soon.
The phone interview was 45 minutes. First, the interviewer very briefly asked about my background (about 2 minutes?), then moved to the coding test. The coding question was not hard. I gave a simple solution first, but the interviewer asked if I could improve it. Then I gave a better solution. It sounds like the interviewer was satisfied with the second one.
For the last 5 minutes, the interviewer asked me if I had any questions. I said no.
Questions
The question was pretty straightforward. Given a random number generator and an array consisting of M numbers, generate a number from 1 to N that is not in that array.
