Data Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn. I then passed a recruiter call and test, which included regular recruiter questions and many SQL & Python trivia (e.g., union and union all, and which is faster).
I did not pass the one-hour remote coding screening test.
Questions
There are many meetings with start and end times. How many meetings can occur at the same time?
This is only one of possibly 10 questions (5 SQL, 5 LeetCode type) in 1 hour.
