Data Engineer Interview Experience

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

HR reaches out to you and asks for your availability.

During the technical interview, they will share a document with you for writing all your code.

Sometimes there is a lag, so always confirm if they have completed writing the question.

Also, ask questions if you are not sure what the manager/interviewer means.

I was knocked out in two technical rounds.

Questions

Interview questions are not tough.

Need to know everything including Shell scripting, SQL, and Data structures.

Find the starting node of a loop in a singly linked list.

A-B-C-D-E-C... So C is the starting node.

SQL question:

Assume a database with students. Table with students' final grades: Name - Subject - Grade

  1. Find the top 3 ranks.
  2. Find the top 3 subjects.
  3. Find the top 3 grades.
