Candidate-reported interview process

First up was a phone screening with the recruiter just to see if I was a good fit. They asked me about my current experience and what I knew about the company. After that, a tough technical interview was set up. This interview focused on coding problems in python and SQL, plus data engineering concepts.

Applied mid-October and got a Codesignal link late November. Scheduled a live coding interview with a senior engineer, but it got rescheduled a bunch of times. Didn't get past the technical part.

The first interview went well. The hiring manager asked questions about how I'd handle different situations, checking my problem-solving skills and if I could think on my feet. It seemed like a good starting point for the next steps.
