Process

First, there's a screening interview, which isn't really useful, but that's a trend these days.

After that, I was scheduled for two interviews with different software engineers.

The first one was very basic; the interviewer asked questions about web architecture and development. Nothing too complicated for a decent web developer.

The second interview was a bit more complicated, as the interviewer asked me to live-code algorithm questions. These problems weren't ones you would typically solve within a company; they were mainly to assess my algorithmic skills.

Questions

You have two arrays with N integers in them. Merge those arrays using a recursive algorithm so that the integers in the final array are sorted.
