Senior Data Engineer Interview Experience

May 27, 2026
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.

The recruiter was very uncommunicative and extremely slow with email responses, when there were responses at all. The interviewer himself was pleasant, but the interview felt somewhat scripted rather than a genuine technical discussion. The technical round consisted of solving a HackerRank-style Python algorithm problem live on an empty IDE board, with almost no upfront instructions or structure. Everything was improvised during the interview itself. To make matters worse, the interviewer joined around 10 minutes late without even acknowledging or apologizing for it. Overall, the process felt disrespectful toward the candidate’s time and came across as unprofessional and poorly managed. The experience left a very negative impression. What you see in the interview process is probably what you get internally as well. Beware.
