Had my Phone Interview for DE at Facebook today. Was able to answer 4 sql questions and 3 python questions. 4th python question passed all test cases but then the interviewer added two more for which it failed. I knew my solution for the 4th python question was not complete anyway as I was running out of time. What are my chances for getting called for the next round? Ran out of time with Sql mainly due to getting acquainted with the schema and translating questions to sql. There was no need to use any windowing functions. Python was very easy. If you can practice questions on Coding Bat for python, it would be sufficient. Most of the time, I was stuck on making minor mistakes like not splitting a sentence into words etc.. which costed me time. Be proficient in using list, set and dictionaries. You are all set.
How does the coding interview work for phone?
Audio conference over bluejeans and coding via coderpad.io
