May 1, 2017
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied online from a job posting on Glassdoor.

Received a call from the recruiter. The process had a very nice and quick turn-around time.

I was then set up for a technical phone screen with the hiring manager. This was a short conversation about my skills and projects, nothing too technical.

Next, I was given an online coding assessment and 24 hours to complete it.

Finally, I was invited on-site for a half-day of interviews with about four team members.

Questions

How would you implement autocomplete (UNIX),

given the restriction that all commands use characters lowercase a-z and the maximum length of a command is 50 characters.

You are given a large set of log files (more than a couple of million). Each line in the file starts with a timestamp. The lines in the files are written in the order they are received (timestamp sorted).

Given a start time and end time, retrieve all messages in that time range from all files.

Design a data structure to store and retrieve employee information in a company. Each employee can have multiple direct reports and multiple managers.
