Senior Data Engineer Interview Experience - Madrid, Spain
Process
I was referred by a team member.
The regular interview process involved an initial screening with TA, followed by a pair programming session to solve an algorithm problem.
The next step was meeting the EM of the team.
Unfortunately, they had already hired someone else. They communicated nicely and fluently.
Questions
Regular TA screening questions to understand past experience and motivation.
The problem of the pair programming session was related to the role, which was nice.

Lots of technical debt and internal technologies. Too much complexity in the platform at all levels. Internal solutions to common industry problems, written by former employees, undocumented, and difficult to maintain. For example, a proprietary RPC protocol. Very hierarchical and not at all international, despite good intentions.
