J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Skyscanner (Édimbourg, Écosse) en sept. 2010
Entretien
Initial phone interview for around 40 minutes -- bit of background and some simple SQL SERVER specific questions -- easy to weed out people who truly don't know much. Then a face to face with two interviewers -- with one of the founders; which was pretty tough, getting indepth and writing code (with paper and pen!). Finally a 3rd interview with Head of Engineering and a colleague just to get a personal feel
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Code an any level recursive search algorithm in sql that traverses routes specified in a multi million row table. Bonus points if your query actually performs adequately (and runs in n log(n)) time.
