Interview Prompt
The incident response team is running a quarterly postmortem on alert handling. For every service, they need the total alerts fired, how many were critical severity, how many were high severity, how many were never acknowledged, and the average number of alerts per status category. Present services with the most total alerts first.
Summary
An on-call postmortem asks which services are bleeding alerts nobody acknowledges.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your SQL against a real database
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
