Data Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California

Process

The first round was a phone interview (around 1 hour) and it involved questions on SQL and Python. The questions are similar to those asked in other reviews here. Just focus on solving them; they are pretty easy and usually require just a simple join or group-by.

The next round was on-site. Your recruiter will describe the process, and it will be exactly as they explain it. They will also provide plenty of study materials, which are usually enough.

For the on-site, I would suggest focusing on your SQL and completing all parts. I had a bad experience with one of the interviewers being really rude. Hopefully, you are lucky enough to not encounter someone like that.

Overall, think of the on-site as a data design question (similar to how system design questions are asked). Consider scale and daily versus batch solutions.
