Data Engineer, Analytics Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
In the initial prescreening round, the interviewer asked 5 SQL and 5 Python questions. I solved 2 SQL and 2 Python questions completely. The 3rd SQL and Python codes were completed, and the approach was correct, but there was a runtime error. Due to time constraints, I was not able to complete them.
Questions
They asked five SQL and five Python questions, one after the other. I think three SQL and three Python questions should be solved in 50 minutes to move to the next round. This is my guess.
