Interview Prompt

Each employee has a manager_id pointing to their manager's employee_id (NULL for the CEO). Return every employee with their depth in the tree and the full path from CEO down, formatted like a file path with / between names. Results should follow path order.

Summary

The tree runs deep. Walk every branch to the root.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write your sql solution with real code execution
  4. Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
