Data Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
The first round is a technical screen with a 5-minute introduction, 30 minutes of SQL, 30 minutes of Python, and a 5-minute Q&A. You can decide if you want to start with SQL or Python. In each session, you will be asked up to 5 questions, and you have to write code that fully passes all test cases before moving to the next question. Three and three is the pass line, so you need to think and write very fast.
