Process
I had one phone interview with the NYC office in the spring of 2014. The recruiter provided a detailed interview preparation guide, which unfortunately covered every possible position and not the specific one I was applying for. During the phone interview, I was asked to implement code on the spot using Google Docs.
Questions
Given a list of absolute file paths, implement a function to store all the paths in a tree, and a function to retrieve all the paths.
