Process
The interview process was smooth, but I wasn't fast enough to crack it. There aren't many resources available to know for sure which topics to omit and which ones not to.
The phone screen happens in two sections: 25 minutes for SQL and 25 minutes for coding.
Always listen to the hints provided by the interviewer. Keep a calm head.
For practice, LeetCode is the best source, though you wouldn't find the exact questions there. For SQL, there aren't any good ones. Don't waste your money on Stratascratch premium.
Questions
SQL questions focusing on aggregations and subqueries with varying difficulties. For coding, ensure you have the foundation set.

- 5.0Great Pay, Poor CultureData Engineer • Current EmployeeToronto, Ontario, CanadaJune 1, 2023Pros: Perks and pay. Also benefits.Cons: Culture and fighting for scope.
- 3.0High pay, terrible cultureData Engineer • Current EmployeeTel Aviv-Yafo, IsraelJuly 4, 2023Pros: Great pay, great perks, nice and talented colleagues.Cons: Company culture is a mess. Leaning too much on a "bottom-up" style causes ICs (individual contributors, i.e., non-managers) to scramble for "impact" with little to no guidance from leadership. This results in a very political atmosphere where all people care about is how their work is going to be reflected in the performance review.
