Candidate-reported interview process
It was generally a pretty straight forward process I would definitely brush up on Python and SQL abilities. The live coding assesment was fit best for SQL.
The interview experience was okay, though the manager seemed a bit moody. They hit me with general SQL, case analysis, and Pandas questions. Interestingly, no IDE was provided, and I was told it wouldn't be necessary for the questions. I tried following up with both the manager and HR about a week later, but didn't hear back from anyone.
It was a simple process with 3 interviews. One was an hour long, another was technical, and the last one was a mix of behavioural and technical. If you know Python, SQL, PySpark, Databricks, and have business knowledge, you'll be fine.
