Process
A recruiter from Facebook contacted me on LinkedIn. I immediately said yes, even though I was not looking for a new role.
The recruiter set up a 30-minute call to understand my profile and assess my fit for the position. I was asked a few general questions about my previous work experience and technical skills, followed by a surprise 5-minute technical Q&A on Python and SQL.
Later, a telephonic interview was scheduled to test my SQL and coding skills. The same recruiter provided me with all the required guidelines and study/reference material to prepare for the interview.
Questions
SQL questions based on JOINS, SUBQUERY, AGGREGATE functions, and GROUP BY.
The coding questions are already mentioned on Glassdoor. Just practice thinking loudly.
