Neutral ExperienceGot Offer

Process

2 back-to-back interviews, 1 hour each.

  • 1 Python OOP question in the first
  • 1 SQL medium in the second
  • 20 minutes to solve each question

LP questions for half of the interview. The rest of the time is technical fundamentals like DWH, OLAP, OLTP, Star/Snowflake, etc.

Questions

SQL question using CTE and DENSE_RANK.

Interviewer-specific, but questions are usually general DE fundamentals. No need to get super specific about tools like Apache or AWS unless you or they decide to bring it up.
