Data Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online and had a quick phone chat with the recruiter.

He told me all about the team and the interview process. I was informed that there would be two technical phone screens and then an on-site interview if they decided to move forward.

My first phone screen included a coding problem and questions about my resume, which is pretty standard. The question itself was easy, so easy that it was difficult to understand what the interviewer wanted to get out of me.

The second phone screen was also quite easy, featuring a standard algorithmic question and further questions about my resume.

A couple of days later, I was told they had decided to move forward with other candidates. This was unfortunate, as the interviews had gone pretty well. Overall, I loved talking to everyone there. The end result wasn't what I wanted, but it was a great experience.
