Data Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
The phone interview was very well organized. The interviewer managed time very efficiently. I don't remember exactly, but I believe it was 5 SQL and 5 coding questions. Nothing extraordinary. SQL questions covered GROUP BY, HAVING, and different joins. Coding questions focused on basic data structures and their application.
Onsite interview consisted of 3 full-stack interviews. Two went well (based on my feelings and the interviewers' reactions). The last one didn't go so well; I was a little lost about what the interviewer wanted to hear.
Unfortunately, I did not get an offer. I'm not sure what went wrong. I may apply again in 9-12 months, but it's very unlikely.
Their HR team is amazing. They do their best to help candidates succeed.

- 5.0High impact learningData Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesJanuary 2, 2018Pros: - Great work culture - AMAZING perksCons: Super intimidating working with such smart people. It's also a pro!
- 5.0I like it hereData Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesMay 5, 2020Pros: Fun and fast-paced culture, interesting problems to solve. The company bends over backwards to please employees. Coworkers are smart and pull their weight, with opportunities to have surprising influence even at the bottom of the ladder. Work-life balance boundaries are largely respected, and most engineers work normal 40-hour weeks. Obvious benefits include good pay, free food, free commute, etc.Cons: Bottoms-up decision-making leads to confusion and a sometimes tense atmosphere. The tech stack doesn't transfer well to other companies. If you don't set boundaries, the job can consume your life. Competitive environment, no guarantee of career progression. Not a good place to coast or slack.
- 4.0Good Perks, Poor BalanceData Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesNovember 7, 2023Pros: Good perks like gym incentives and food. You have your own phone.Cons: Not good life balance, and the CEO hasn't made good decisions.
