Data Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California

Negative ExperienceGot Offer
Process
Very confusing and non-technical questions expecting technical answers.
The recruiter didn't seem versed with the role itself and also did not give me enough details on the role when asked.
The first round was offered, but they wouldn't settle on a calendar date – they kept moving it.
