Process

I was contacted via AngelList. First, I had a phone interview with a technical recruiter. This interview was exactly as others on Glassdoor had described:

  • Questions about my experience
  • Three things I was looking for in a place to work
  • Whether I wanted to move to San Francisco
  • A list of technical knowledge-based questions

The recruiter was very upfront, stating it was basically a list of standard questions they ask everyone. All of the questions, or variations of them, I had found on Glassdoor beforehand.

I proceeded from there to have a Skype interview with a developer at the company. He was 15 minutes late but seemed nice enough. He asked me about my knowledge of network concepts, such as:

  • How HTTP works
  • What happens when you hit enter after typing a URL into your browser
  • The details of how the TCP/IP layer works

Then, he had me talk through an algorithm for the problem below. We proceeded to code up the problem in my language of choice but ran out of time due to his lateness.

Questions

Given a list of URLs representing the incoming users' URLs, how would you output a list of the top ten URLs listed?
