Process
Had an initial phone screening. The interview was scheduled one month later, got rescheduled 5 times, and eventually took place.
The interview was mostly focused on SQL, with some easy, non-LeetCode based questions around Python dictionaries.

Lots of freedom, but constantly changing goals
Data Engineer • Former Employee

December 14, 2022
Pros: Great pay, lots of autonomy, and the ability to choose teams and projects you want to work on.
Cons: Goals constantly change. I would spend a month planning project roadmaps for the next half only to have the roadmaps thrown out two weeks later. All employees were expected to do their jobs and take on side projects to get good performance reviews, which leads to a bad work/life balance.
