3580\. Find Consistently Improving Employees

Medium

Table: `employees`

+-------------+---------+
| Column Name | Type |
+-------------+---------+
| employee_id | int |
| name | varchar |
+-------------+---------+
employee_id is the unique identifier for this table.
Each row contains information about an employee.

Table: `performance_reviews`

+-------------+------+
| Column Name | Type |
+-------------+------+
| review_id | int |
| employee_id | int |
| review_date | date |
| rating | int |
+-------------+------+
review_id is the unique identifier for this table.
Each row represents a performance review for an employee.
The rating is on a scale of 1-5 where 5 is excellent and 1 is poor.

Write a solution to find employees who have consistently improved their performance over **their last three reviews**.

* An employee must have **at least** `3` **review** to be considered
* The employee's **last** `3` **reviews** must show **strictly increasing ratings** (each review better than the previous)
* Use the most recent `3` reviews based on `review_date` for each employee
* Calculate the **improvement score** as the difference between the latest rating and the earliest rating among the last `3` reviews

Return _the result table ordered by **improvement score** in **descending** order, then by **name** in **ascending** order_.

The result format is in the following example.

**Example:**

**Input:**

employees table:

+-------------+----------------+
| employee_id | name |
+-------------+----------------+
| 1 | Alice Johnson |
| 2 | Bob Smith |
| 3 | Carol Davis |
| 4 | David Wilson |
| 5 | Emma Brown |
+-------------+----------------+

performance\_reviews table:

+-----------+-------------+-------------+--------+
| review_id | employee_id | review_date | rating |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+--------+
| 1 | 1 | 2023-01-15 | 2 |
| 2 | 1 | 2023-04-15 | 3 |
| 3 | 1 | 2023-07-15 | 4 |
| 4 | 1 | 2023-10-15 | 5 |
| 5 | 2 | 2023-02-01 | 3 |
| 6 | 2 | 2023-05-01 | 2 |
| 7 | 2 | 2023-08-01 | 4 |
| 8 | 2 | 2023-11-01 | 5 |
| 9 | 3 | 2023-03-10 | 1 |
| 10 | 3 | 2023-06-10 | 2 |
| 11 | 3 | 2023-09-10 | 3 |
| 12 | 3 | 2023-12-10 | 4 |
| 13 | 4 | 2023-01-20 | 4 |
| 14 | 4 | 2023-04-20 | 4 |
| 15 | 4 | 2023-07-20 | 4 |
| 16 | 5 | 2023-02-15 | 3 |
| 17 | 5 | 2023-05-15 | 2 |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+--------+

**Output:**

+-------------+----------------+-------------------+
| employee_id | name | improvement_score |
+-------------+----------------+-------------------+
| 2 | Bob Smith | 3 |
| 1 | Alice Johnson | 2 |
| 3 | Carol Davis | 2 |
+-------------+----------------+-------------------+

**Explanation:**

* **Alice Johnson (employee\_id = 1):**
* Has 4 reviews with ratings: 2, 3, 4, 5
* Last 3 reviews (by date): 2023-04-15 (3), 2023-07-15 (4), 2023-10-15 (5)
* Ratings are strictly increasing: 3 → 4 → 5
* Improvement score: 5 - 3 = 2
* **Carol Davis (employee\_id = 3):**
* Has 4 reviews with ratings: 1, 2, 3, 4
* Last 3 reviews (by date): 2023-06-10 (2), 2023-09-10 (3), 2023-12-10 (4)
* Ratings are strictly increasing: 2 → 3 → 4
* Improvement score: 4 - 2 = 2
* **Bob Smith (employee\_id = 2):**
* Has 4 reviews with ratings: 3, 2, 4, 5
* Last 3 reviews (by date): 2023-05-01 (2), 2023-08-01 (4), 2023-11-01 (5)
* Ratings are strictly increasing: 2 → 4 → 5
* Improvement score: 5 - 2 = 3
* **Employees not included:**
* David Wilson (employee\_id = 4): Last 3 reviews are all 4 (no improvement)
* Emma Brown (employee\_id = 5): Only has 2 reviews (needs at least 3)

The output table is ordered by improvement\_score in descending order, then by name in ascending order.
