Process

Two phone interviews, mostly about data structures and algorithms.

In the first interview, they asked string manipulation questions and a puzzle.

In the second interview, they asked about tri-tree implementation. They asked me to implement a tri-tree in a Google Doc. Implementation in a Google Doc was a bit confusing and tricky.
