Data Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California

March 1, 2017
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A recruiter reached out on LinkedIn. In the call, we discussed my background and the fit for the role. Later, we set up phone interviews focusing on SQL and coding (Python). Both interviews focused on basics.

The recruiter will send study material, and going through all of that practice will be good enough for the phone interviews. The key here is being fast at answering questions. It looks like the number of questions you answer correctly in the phone interview is important.

Questions

SQL:

  • Get the states with more than 100,000 population.
  • Count the number of products sold more than 10 units.
  • Get the youngest customer who bought at least 1 product.
  • Get the areas from which we have products sold.

Python:

  • Count the number of unique words in a sequence.
  • Print a part of the array of numbers.
  • Check for a substring in a string.
  • Question on exceptions.
