Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took two weeks.

  • Initially, there was an online HackerRank test with three sections: data algorithms / data pipelines and SQL questions.
  • Then there was a 30-minute initial conversation with the hiring manager, mainly consisting of behavioral questions with some technical discussions.

Questions

Talk about the project and about myself.
