Data Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
I had a discussion with HR, and then she arranged the technical interview with a Data Engineer in the company. This part took about two weeks.
For the technical interview, I had a task to code a Python program to find a list of anagrams. Then, there were a few SQL questions, including the usage of window functions. The last question was about data modeling and the difference between snowflake and star schemas.
I was rejected but received feedback.
Questions
