      Interview

      Had a brief technical phone interview and then got invited for an on-site interview. On-site interview lasted a little over 5 hours, interviewing with 6 team members one at a time. The interviews had a variety of topics from buffer overflow questions, to brain teasers, to sorting algorithms, to C/C++ questions. The interviewers were all very patient and friendly.

      Question 1

      Given a sorted array that can have both negative and positive integers, write an algorithm to sort the array of the squares of the integers. Optimize it.
