Interview Prompt

Given projects (list of dicts with project_id and budget) and assignments (list of dicts with project_id and employee_id), compute each employee's share. Each project's budget is split equally among its assigned employees. Return a dict mapping employee_id to their total share across all projects they are on. If a project has no assignees, its budget is not distributed.

Summary

Split the money. Some wore two hats.

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 python solution with real code execution
  4. Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
