The recruiter scheduled me for an onsite interview directly. I met with two engineers and felt I had performed somewhat adequately in the first interview. The interviewer struggled to phrase his hypothetical question clearly, but we were eventually able to arrive at the answer. The second interview also went well, though I believe I faltered for about ten minutes in the middle. I was unable to answer a couple of Java-specific questions, and I suspect that was detrimental. The questions covered a range from easy to quite difficult. Nevertheless, both interviewers were extremely polite, and I left with a very positive impression of the firm. They are building a strong engineering team, and Redshift should be mindful.

NDA. But brush up on:

• Data structures (large scale)
• Threads
• Java
• Some SQL concepts
