Data Engineer Interview Experience - Zürich

February 1, 2023
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. Within a week, they reached out to me and sent a HackerRank link to take the coding test. You can take the test within 7 days, and if for some reason you can't, they also offer an extension to the offered time.

The test consisted of 5 parts:

  • Pandas - DataFrame (Python)
  • SQL
  • Technical problem solving via coding (choose your own language among the options).

2 days after I submitted the test, I got the rejection letter. As an ex-Amazon candidate, I have to say I found parts 3-5 over the top. With all due respect, the role is not software engineering and the company is not a MAMAA. Overall, the offered time, 90 minutes, came short looking at the level of thought required to solve the problems plus implementation. I recommend anyone who would like a career in this company to go hard on solving coding challenges on websites like HackerRank and LeetCode.

Questions

  1. A scenario about trading (values going up and down constantly in the frame)
  2. Combining tables and reaching a conclusion
  3. 2D Matrix and adjacency
  4. Graph/nodes
