Data Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

The recruiter's phone screen really sold me on the company culture and the specific team I applied for. I was pretty excited at the prospect of working there after that call.

I had to wait about a week before scheduling the next round. It was supposed to be a chat with the hiring manager, I believe, but it was changed last minute to an interview with one of the engineers. This also turned out to be a partly technical interview, which I wasn't informed of prior. The interviewer had me write code in a Google Doc, which was not ideal.

I was then rejected a week after that interview.

I started out pretty excited about this position. However, a week of radio silence between the first interview and the scheduling of the second, as well as a week of radio silence between the second interview and the rejection, wore out some of the shine from my initial interest. I also answered all the technical questions correctly, so I'm a bit surprised and disappointed that I didn't get a chance at something more rigorous.
