Candidate-reported interview process

Started with a recruiter call, then had an online interview. Got some prep notes beforehand. The interview had 2 SQL and 3 Python questions, about 45 mins total. I managed to get through 4 questions but ran out of time. Got feedback about a week later. Didn't get the job but the interviewer was cool, and the recruiter even did a debrief call to chat about it.

Started with a Hackerrank test focused entirely on SQL. This was followed by a technical interview that also covered SQL, and then Python, both of which were fairly straightforward. The final round was a values assessment where they reviewed my resume and asked typical, expected questions.

I went through a coding round for the Data Engineer position at Atlassian. Since this role involves a lot of SQL and Python, the interview focused on those skills. It included 3 SQL questions, with the second and third building on the first, and one Python programming question. The questions were quite direct if you were well-prepared. I'm waiting to hear back from them.
