The interview process was fairly standard, though not particularly memorable.

The initial communication was prompt, but there were moments where the scheduling and expectations weren’t very clear.

The interviewer seemed knowledgeable, but the conversation felt a bit rigid and lacked a natural flow.

Some of the questions were relevant and gave a decent insight into the role, while others felt a bit generic or disconnected from the job description.

I appreciated the chance to ask questions at the end, though the responses were somewhat vague and didn’t fully clarify the company’s direction or team dynamics.

Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, but it didn’t leave a strong impression either.

One of the main things they asked me was about how to register a DataFrame as a temporary SQL view using createOrReplaceTempView, and then how to run SQL queries on top of that. It was pretty straightforward, but they wanted to see if I understood how to combine PySpark with SQL for more flexible querying.
