Data Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, Karnataka
Process
Once pre-screened, you receive a CodeSignal test. After solving at least two out of four questions, you are invited to a first-round interview where basic SQL and Python questions are asked.
Second Round: My interviewer was very condescending and seemed offended by my definition of a data engineer. Their communication style included remarks that felt condescending, such as implying a question was "sixth-grade level," despite it being a specific Python trick. This made the interaction quite unpleasant and difficult.
