Data Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Interviewed on March 29th. It was a standard interview process, and the interviewer was helpful. They assisted with minor code changes when I was about 80% there, which helped me move to the next question. Overall, it was a great experience. The interview seemed easy because I was aware of the potential questions. Otherwise, under a time constraint, it would have been tough.

I performed well and completed four SQL and three Python questions.

However, the recruiter contacted me stating that the questions had been repeated from my previous interview, which was a year ago. At that time, I was only able to solve one Python and three SQL questions. They wanted me to take a phone interview again, but with a different set of questions this time.

I have yet to give the interview but expect a new set of questions.

Questions

Python:

  1. Find 's' in Mississippi.
  2. Uncommon words.
  3. Replace None with the next element in the list.

SQL: 2 questions on CASE, 1 on ORDER BY/LIMIT/RANK/TOP (whatever you want to use), percentage/ratio calculations/joins.
