Process
The interview process was long:
- Initial phone conversation
- Technical interview
- Technical skill assessment
- 30-minute presentation in front of a panel.
I was told the presentation was to be interactive, but nobody said a word.
There was no follow-up. I waited two weeks and then reached out. I was told that although I did very well on the technical assessment, there were unspecified "concerns" after the presentation.
Questions
They asked me to rate myself on SQL proficiency. I said 5 out of 5.
The only question was how a left join works.
The assessment test was designed to trip you up, but once I realized that it wasn't too tough, it still took over an hour.
