Process

Applied online. The recruiter emailed back asking for availability for a screening interview.

The screening interview included a LeetCode medium question and an SQL medium question. The interviewer was nice.

Then, I was invited for a virtual onsite. The virtual onsite had four rounds:

  • Two rounds with engineers on the team
  • One round with the hiring manager
  • One round with a business partner

The first technical round included a data modeling case study where I had to design a data model for a use case and generate some metrics. The second technical round involved designing an ETL pipeline for a use case. The manager round consisted mostly of behavioral questions, and the business partner round focused on product sense questions. All the interviewers appeared tired and were not very engaging.
