Process
They seemed backed up with interviewee candidates; the first interview I could get was a couple of weeks after we scheduled it.
After the initial recruiter interview, there were a pair of online technical interviews:
- One was SQL-based.
- One was in a programming language of your choice (I picked Python 3).
Neither interview was particularly hard, although given my minimal Python experience, I should have drilled more on solving simple problems.
Questions
How to do certain types of SQL filtering in one pass rather than using two queries unioned together.
