Senior Data Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
-
Phone screen, rushed in 10 minutes.
-
Sent a code test with 4 questions (1 easy, 1 medium, 2 hard).
-
Supposedly there would be a follow-up with 4 interviews in a single day. I assume I have flunked out ahead of this.
Questions
I just came on here to gripe about the coding test.
For a data engineering job, these code riddles had nothing to do with data whatsoever. There were no SQL questions at all.
