Data Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The interview process took 3 weeks. Recruiter call, call with hiring manager and the team. The third call was a data modeling interview, and the next one was coding in SQL and Python. The HR told me to prepare LeetCode but the interview turned out to be writing reading CSV, passing multiple files, unit tests, and writing edge cases.
The data modeling interview was pretty easy. The HR should have told clearly what to expect and there was a clear communication gap between their HR team and the interviewing team.
Questions

Wallet activity per customer using SQL.
Read the CSV file in Python, validate the rows, and parse the list of files.
