Data Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Overall, I felt the interview process was smooth. The recruiter was very friendly and coordinated the interviews well.
For the first round, I had the Amcat online assessment, which consisted of questions covering topics such as Spark, Python, SQL, and data architecture.
Next, two rounds were technical rounds, which mostly focused on your work experience, any distributed computing technology (in my case, it was Spark), basic Python programming, and analytical functions in SQL.
Final two rounds were mainly focused on personality assessment, fitment to the team, etc.
