Data Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
There are three stages to the interviewing process:
- Brief walk-through of resume
- Questions about weaknesses and strengths
- The technical part of the interview
They seem genuinely interested, but again, these are the perils of going through the rites of passage of the interview, doing it the employer's way. After all, they are hiring you, not the other way around, if they decide to hire you.
Questions
They asked me technical questions about Apache open-source technologies like Spark, Hadoop, Mesos, and others.
