Process

An email from an on-campus recruiter gauging my interest led to a phone screen interview. From there, I was invited to an on-site interview in Seattle. There, I had four approximately 45-minute interviews. Each one started with some basic questions about my resume, then moved into one to two technical questions.

Questions

Make a program that writes a Binary Search Tree to a file. Then, create a program that reads those files and recreates a Binary Search Tree.

How would you sort an array if you had infinite RAM? Infinite memory?

Create a Priority Queue with all its methods.

A basic string manipulation question (unfortunately, I don't remember the details, as it was my first interview of the day).
