Software Engineer/Data Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The whole process was quite long: three back-to-back 45-minute interviews.
There were supposed to be three types of interviews:
- Behavioral
- Technical
- Case (yes, they conducted a case study for a technical position).
The "behavioral" portion was surprisingly more technical. The interviewer asked questions about how things work, rather than problem-solving questions.
The "technical" portion was fairly generic, including a linked list question, a design question, and a SQL question.
They provided preparation materials for the case study, which essentially involved reasoning through a business problem.
Questions
