# Given an org chart tree, compute each employee’s level, identify balanced employees, and build a histogram of employees by level

We publish this as a coding interview question for software-engineering candidates. It is categorized under **Data Structures & Algorithms** and **Coding**, and is associated with the **Software Engineer** role and **Netflix**.

## Question

The page title identifies a problem involving an organization-chart tree. The requested outputs are:

- each employee’s level;
- the employees who are balanced; and
- a histogram showing the number of employees at each level.

The question prompt itself does not include the tree representation, definitions, examples, constraints, or a solution in the accessible content provided here.

## Interview experience

One shared experience is associated with this question:

- **Netflix · 6 months ago** — A **Software Engineer · Senior / L5** described a process that took about three weeks end to end. The process included a recruiter screen, a TTL cache phone screen, and a five-round onsite consisting of one coding round, two behavioral engineering-manager rounds, data modeling, and system design. The candidate said the technical interviews were mostly straightforward when they explained tradeoffs, while the behavioral rounds were a more difficult fit assessment. They were still waiting to hear back at the time of writing. They emphasized the importance of confidently discussing ads serving, demand, targeting, and capping for this ads organization.
