Process

I applied online.

The first round is the technical screening for 30 minutes: 15 minutes for SQL and 15 minutes for Python, containing 3 questions each. After qualification, the loop round contains:

  • Three technical rounds of 1 hour, starting with the success metrics of a real-world product (Uber, Reels, Netflix, etc.) and designing a data model with attributes and entities, followed by 3 questions each on SQL and Python.
  • One behavioral round.
