Interview
applied through an employee referral.
didn't hear from the HR for months until the referral asked again.
contacted by HR for phone screening. went through resume and asked about previous experience, projects worked on, desired position, etc.
Then a phone interview. An employee called, chatted a little bit, and then went to technical questions.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
business sense:
There are two types of cars A and B. The number of people in US who use A
and B are the same. They drive the same distances each month.
Now there are two new technologies, X and Y (of equal cost).
If apply X, mpg of A would increase from 50 mpg to 75 mpg;
If apply Y, mpg of B would increase from 10 mpg to 11 mpg.
The goal is to decrease the dependence on foreign oil, or to decrease the
consumption of gasoline.
Question: which technology would you apply?
Follow up question: after applying the technology of your choice, assume
there's money available for research on new technology, which car would you
choose to conduct research on?
data question:
dialoglog
(userid int
appid int
type char , a flag either "imp" or "click"
ds timestamp
)

How to compute click-through rate (in mySQL)?

I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
Completed 3 rounds of the process, which includes the initial recruiter screen, technical, full loop, and team matching.
Couldn't move past the full loop interview. The interview was very engaging, and I actually enjoyed working through the cases. No crazy questions.
It's all organized. Be prepared to showcase your depth of thinking. Two analytical rounds will make you think on your ability to solve probability and experimentation problems. Have a structure for everything
