Candidate-reported interview process
A recruiter reached out on LinkedIn. First, there was an initial recruiter screening call. Then, I had an interview with a team member focusing on SQL and Python, lasting about two hours. Finally, I interviewed with the Hiring Manager for around two hours, covering advanced SQL, behavioral aspects, Python, and Spark.
So first they gave me a quick rundown of the job. Then, we talked about a project I did, and how we could have solved it better. Finally, I had to do 2 algo challenges.
The company came to our college for hiring Data Engineers. The process was like this: Online Assessment, then a Technical Interview, followed by a Cross Panel Interview, and finally an HR Round.
