Interview Prompt

The merchandising team is choosing which categories to pitch for premium shelf space and only cares about ones with real depth of well-reviewed inventory, counting only products rated 3.0 or higher. Find the categories with more than eight such products, and for each show how many there are along with their average rating and average price.

Summary

Merchandising only cares about categories big enough to negotiate shelf space.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write and run your SQL against a real database
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
