Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Initial screening is easy, few technical questions. I knew did bad at the technical questions when he asked me hard questions like describe a time you made a mistake at work.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meta (New York, NY)
Interview
Got contacted on LinkedIn by a Facebook recruiter. Told the. I was pretty happy with my current situation, but they insisted they wanted to talk to me. Round one was pretty basic - company structure, compensation, etc. The first round had a couple of technical questions that were fairly basic, but were pretty easy. Made it to round two.
Round two was on a program called Coderpad, which was okay but would be nice if I could have actually seen the tables I was supposed to be pulling from. There were two coding challenges. First one was a simple SQL pull to identify most popular Spotify songs on a given day. Second one was more difficult - required a couple of subqueries.
They were very friendly and professional. Not the right fit for this particular position.

Question 1
Write a query that identifies all the users that listened to three of the same songs on Spotify, on the same day, as someone in their friend list.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Austin, TX) in Jun 2013
Interview
Submitted my resume directly through Facebook and received a message from a recruiter pretty quickly (same day). One I had my initial phone call with her I had 2 additional calls with members of the SMB team. Everyone was incredibly nice and professional. They asked some hypothetical questions that make you think on your feet but were fun to work out. Once I had completed these 3 phone interviews I was flown to Austin for 4 back to back in person interviews. I thought theses went well however I was initially under-qualified for the position with no background as an Analyst or in Advertising for that matter so understandably they passed. Overall it was a great experience though and I learned a lot along the way that has since helped with other employment opportunities.

Question 1
Due to nondisclosure signed I will pass on this but be ready to answer hypothetical questions.
