Process

WebFilings came to my school's career fair, and I happened to give my resume to one of the recruiters at their booth. They contacted me a couple of days later about scheduling an interview for the following week.

My interview was conducted by two men, one of whom seemed to be a manager. They started by asking about my resume and reviewing some of my experience. They asked me why I was interested in technology and software, they asked about some of my relevant coursework, and they asked about my extracurriculars. This lasted about 15 minutes, and then they launched into a technical interview that lasted for about 45 minutes.

The first two questions weren't bad at all, and I finished them pretty quickly, but the third was pretty confusing. I asked questions for a good five minutes before trying to solve it.

Once they could tell I was struggling with the programming, they changed topics a little bit and asked more general computer science questions.

I got an email a week later that was pretty cryptic. It didn't say that they were pursuing other candidates, it just said that they had assembled a team of qualified candidates, and that they invited me to visit their jobs page.

I found that pretty strange. I expected them to tell me at least somewhat explicitly that I wouldn't be interviewing again. Instead, they didn't say anything about it, and it came off as pretty passive.

Questions

I was asked to write a program that would sort elements based on different keys. Each element would have a certain number of keys, and each key would contain a different data type. They wanted a function that would sort the elements based on whichever key was specified in the arguments.
