First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Cabify.
Data Engineer
It was transparent and demanding. You need to know the proposed technology with some background. Data streaming isn't something you learn quickly, and even if you have time to do it, it shows if you learn it on the fly.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Senior Data Engineer
First, there was a CV screening with someone from HR over the phone. Then, I had to complete a technical challenge. After that, I went through 3 onsite interviews, each lasting an hour. Each of these interviews consisted of two parts: some behavioural questions and some technical questions. These technical parts included reviewing the challenge I did, a system design question, and some open-ended scenarios.
- Can you share an instance where you proposed an idea that faced significant opposition? What do you think caused the strong resistance, and how did you navigate the negative feedback?
- Tell me about a time you had an idea that was strongly opposed. Why do you think there was so much resistance, and how did you handle the negative feedback?
Data Engineer
I was first contacted by a recruiter on Linkedin. After that, I had a call with HR. Then, I was given a take-home test that took me two weeks to complete and required many hours of work. They contacted me after I completed it, saying they liked my profile and wanted to proceed. After I shared my availability for the interview, they went silent for two weeks and then informed me that they had cancelled the position. A lot of time wasted, and I wasn't the only one.
- Could you answer behavioral questions using the STAR method?
