Data Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore

January 26, 2024

Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took four weeks.

There were two rounds of interviews:

The first round was a basic behavior and background knowledge interview regarding reasons of interest in the position, prior experience, and background knowledge.
The second round was a take-home assignment and presentation. The assignment was Scala-based, and I was given one week to complete four questions with a follow-up code review in an interview. The presentation was on the subject of something I previously worked on or implemented within the same interview as the code review.

Questions

Do you have any knowledge or experience with Scala and functional programming? Do you have any knowledge or experience with open-source big-data tech like Spark, Hadoop, and Kafka? Given a network diagram, can you make any inferences based on the labeled nodes, edges, and network as a whole?

Pros: - Modern tech stack and new technologies are adapted if the use case makes sense - There is a strong focus on developing the skills of employees - The company has a flat management structure with highly approachable managers at all levels - The people you work with are highly intelligent, friendly and happy to share knowledge - There is interesting work delivering a world class product to tier 1 clients - The company is growing rapidly and has a strong pipeline of future work with a clear vision - There is a highly social culture with many opportunities for social events

Cons: There can be cases where people have to work hours that allow meeting with people in different time zones as project resources may be based in the UK, US, Australia, etc. This isn't overly impactful though.

Pros: Smart and fun colleagues. Quite good pay and culture. Interesting projects and continuous learning.

Cons: The delivery department is underappreciated. The company brand has gotten much more corporate over time. The move to 'quantexify' language seems insincere.
