The 30-minute phone screen was easy.

I followed up with a six-hour on-site interview, for which lunch was provided.

Disappointingly, the process was disorganized. I didn't know who most of my interviewers would be in advance, and many did not seem to have looked at my resume in detail. This wasted a lot of time trying to figure out exactly what they were looking for in a candidate and learn more about the particular role. Answers to my questions were fairly cryptic and vague. I suspect a couple of them were there for a personality or general fit assessment and didn't actually know what the role entailed.

I sensed a lot of ego from a couple of them.

The technical questions did not seem entirely relevant.

What is the best sorting algorithm and why?

What is a test strategy?

Given a sequence of positive integers, always incrementing by 1 (i.e., 1, 2, 3, ..., n+1), write a function that returns only the ODD values (in the same order).
