Data Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

May 11, 2021
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

First, I had a phone screen with the hiring manager, which involved some Spark/Kafka questions.

Then, I had a phone screen with a common LeetCode question.

After passing those, I had a virtual onsite with five one-hour interviews.

They consisted of:

  • One system design interview
  • One behavioral interview
  • Three coding interviews

Two of the coding interviews involved LeetCode medium-style questions (with follow-up questions), and the third was a Java multithreading question.

Interestingly, all the interviews except the behavioral interview had a pair of interviewers. On occasion, it did feel like they were more interested in bantering with each other than interviewing me.

After a week and a half, I was told I was rejected and was not given any feedback.

Questions

Common Java multithreading question (if you are familiar with those types of questions).
