Data Engineer Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany
Process
I was approached by their HR person, who later led me through the entire process and prepared me for every interview.
There were a total of four 30-60 minute interviews with different people and a take-home assignment (system design and coding).
Even though it sounds exhausting and too thorough, it's really not that bad. There are no trick questions or whiteboard coding, and all the interviewers are friendly, positive, and seem to want you to succeed.
The take-home assignment has two parts: system design and a coding part. It's nothing outrageous; you can probably imagine how it looks. The challenging part is to figure out how deep you want to go with both of them.
Questions
All interviewers ask about your previous experience and to describe some situations from your previous companies.
Tech interviews are basically a discussion of your system design solution and your solution to a coding challenge.

- 4.0A "OK" jobData Engineer • Former EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesSeptember 11, 2024Pros: The tech stack is not out of date.Cons: Salary is not competitive compared to others.
- 4.0Fun place to work, but not easy to advance career past early stagesData Engineer • Current EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesOctober 28, 2020Pros: I really like the workplace culture. There's a good work/life balance, I get to work with lots of really talented people, and I've made a lot of friends here. It's also easy to move around within the company if you're not satisfied with your current team.Cons: Lack of diversity, especially in upper management. I also don't like how performance reviews are done. You're compared to people in your role at the same level, and a lot of times it feels like you're supposed to fit into this cookie-cutter model of what a good engineer should be like. A lot of the senior managers are hires from the outside and not people who have been promoted.
