Senior Data Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Pretty straightforward process. First, a call with a recruiter, then a virtual interview with a manager, and then a technical, all-day series of one-on-one interviews with various people.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they weren't interested in extending an offer, which is fine, but I never heard anything back from my recruiter after asking for feedback multiple times.
Questions
SQL performance tuning, data modeling example, and basic SQL-related questions.
