Process
Two engineers were asked questions one by one.
The first question was to design a structure for an employee/manager system. An employee belongs to a manager, and a manager has several employees. Employees may also belong to a manager. Design the structure to support the following operations:
- Delete an employee/manager.
- Promotion (an employee becomes a manager).
The second question was about level-traversal of a binary tree.
The third question was about pass by reference versus pass by value.

You can still try to be innovative, but if you fail, you're on your own. - Fighting fires all the time. - Medium to high stress work environment. - Truly horrific legacy code. - Hack/patch attitude towards fixing things in the name of "time to market".
