Data Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
Had the technical phone screen. The questions are trivial, but under time pressure and interview stress, they can become challenging. Beware.
The interviewer was really nice, but had an accent and did a poor job explaining the problems beyond what was on the screen, which added to the confusion.
Overall, a neutral experience. Like many others have noted, the questions themselves are not difficult, but under the circumstances, they could get confusing.
