Good pay, but expect yourself as a small gear in a big engine
Good pay. Excellent resume eye-catcher. Best practices in data engineering and some good documentation that can be learned from.
You are a small moving part of a big engine. Leadership doesn't know you exist as an IC. Try hard enough to prove your impact to get into the cult. Too much empire building. Job specific - even though you would learn a lot about Data Engineering, the learning you get exponentially decreases. You learn more how to communicate rather than technical stuffs.
Stop empire building. Listen to ICs and treat them nicely. Good layoff, as I agree there are lots of people that don't do work or just do fake work.

Curate questions from Blind and Glassdoor. They repeat the questions. I had a technical round: 5 SQL and 5 Python. You need to answer at least 6 to pass the round. Questions are not super hard.
