Process
The process consists of multiple phases.
First comes a written test with four problems. You have to write a solution in any programming language; you can even use pseudocode.
If you pass, you are invited to an interview, which is actually four interviews, each four hours long. During these interviews, you will be presented with problems that you have to solve in front of one or two people from the company on a piece of paper, describing what you are doing and why.
Questions
One of the questions was how I would find a number which appears an odd number of times in an array if all other numbers appear an even number of times.
