Process
- Recruiter call
- Take-home SQL test
- Technical interview
- Take-home case study
- Competency interview
The worst interview that I have ever experienced. The recruiter didn’t mention the third stage was actually a technical interview. I thought it was a competency interview based on the email stated. After that, I got the case study that I put a lot of time preparing for, and I was told that I’d need to present it in the fifth-round interview. But it turned out I didn’t have a chance to present it. Instead, the interviewers asked some random questions, like ‘Who is your favourite Data Engineer?’ The questions were unclear and unrelated to the role.

- 2.0A great workplace at the start, but then it gets worse over timeSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, undefined, United KingdomDecember 10, 2024Pros: - Most people I have worked with are really nice. - If you need to travel to another office in Europe, they will cover travel and accommodation costs.Cons: You ask for regular feedback on how to improve, and then when it comes to promotion season, you're given a list of nonsensical reasons for why you couldn't be promoted. You will suffer if you have to work closely with individuals that don't know how to do their job properly. The company justifies keeping them because they can't easily find a replacement. Coworkers that exaggerate and brag about the work they do, and are better connected to senior management, are rewarded more than coworkers that actually do the most.
