Senior Data Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online.

The first interview was with HR, who had technical issues and could not conduct it by phone, so they sent a Zoom invite instead.

The second interview was with two Data Engineers. One arrived 30 minutes late and the other seemed disengaged from the very beginning.

Overall, not a professional experience.

A good place to start a career, but not a long-term place to be

Senior Data Engineer • Former Employee

Princeton, New Jersey, United States

Pros: Good work-life balance. The Princeton office has (or had at the time) the perks of meals and snacks. People are generally pleasant to be around, and there didn't feel like a toxic culture.

Cons: - Not lots of upward progression. - You usually answer to business units with somewhat trivial asks. - Didn't really learn too much on the job that benefitted me afterwards.

Great Environment, Less Creativity

Senior Data Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Perfect conditions and working environment.

Cons: Limited space for "creativity," which creates a feeling of a "software factory." On the other hand, it's understandable, considering the level of support and reliability provided to the customer.
