Data Engineer Interview Experience - Indianapolis, Indiana
Process
I made it to the 5th round.
Applied through a referral.
The first interview was with the Recruiter and it was mostly to determine if I was the right candidate for the role.
Second, with the Lead Engineer, which focused more on experience and technical challenges.
The third was a SQL HackerRank assessment with 5 questions. They were of above-average to hard difficulty.
Fourth, a Python code pairing with the Lead Engineer. Basic LeetCode questions were asked.
Fifth, a behavioral interview with the Hiring Manager.
After this, I learned from the Recruiter that there were other candidates with better knowledge and skills, and I was then rejected.
Was this helpful?
