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 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Austin, TX) in Jan 2013
Interview
I applied through Facebook. Sent resume and was contacted by recruiter in Menlo park. It was a general behavioral interview with specific questions about small business experience. Recruiter seemed to respond positively and set up phone call with hiring manager. Phone call never happened, no follow up. I felt that recruiter was difficult to follow up with but it is understandable considering this position would have lots of applicants. I felt that not being called at scheduled interview with hiring manager was a negative part of the process.
