Summary
I interviewed for a Business Analyst role at Meesho in August 2024, which started with an online assessment followed by a technical interview primarily focused on SQL. Unfortunately, I was rejected after the first interview round and did not proceed to the second.
Full Experience
My interview process for the Business Analyst position at Meesho began with an online assessment. This assessment was 90 minutes long and consisted of 25 multiple-choice questions along with 3 SQL queries to solve.
Following the online assessment, I had a technical interview. This round lasted between 20-30 minutes. We started with mutual introductions, and then the interviewer shared a document containing questions where I was expected to type my answers directly.
The questions in the technical interview were primarily SQL-based:
- The first question involved analyzing a given database schema and then predicting the output of several SQL queries that extensively used window functions like
ROW_NUMBER(),RANK(), andDENSE_RANK(). - The second question asked me to write a straightforward SQL query based on applying a
WHEREcondition to the database. - The third question required me to construct a query involving grouping data and using a
HAVINGclause. - The final question was described as a hard-level SQL query, necessitating the use of subqueries and
WITHstatements.
Although I completed this round, I was unfortunately not shortlisted to proceed to the second interview round.
Interview Questions (1)
Given a sample database table structure and data, predict the output of various SQL queries. These queries specifically involve advanced SQL concepts such as window functions: ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), and DENSE_RANK(). The task was to understand the behavior of these functions and how they apply to the given dataset.
