Data Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

March 1, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  • Phone interview (1 hour)
  • Onsite interview (3.5 hours / 4 sessions)

Ghost recruiter:

  • Emailed recruiter 2 times in 2 weeks.
  • Received 1 email back stating he tried to call a couple of times, but there were no missed calls.
  • Emailed back 2 times and called 3 different times (in case he had another call during those times).
  • Now, I believe he is avoiding me.

I heard candidates receive feedback after interviews. A rejection would be helpful, but being ghosted is very bad for someone who used to communicate nicely.

Questions

  • Phone (Python, SQL)

    • I completed 3 problems from each language, with some help from the interviewer.
  • Onsite

    • Behavioral
    • Data Model (product sense, data model, SQL)
    • ETL1 (product sense, SQL, Python dict)
    • ETL2 (product sense, SQL, Python streaming/dict)
