First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Chubb.
Data Engineer
I had a 30-minute virtual interview after a recruiter call. The interviewer focused on Data Modelling, Data Bricks, and Azure. They didn't test my coding skills in this round. It went pretty well, and I could answer most questions, though a couple slipped my mind.
- Could you explain the distinction between system-assigned managed identities and user-defined identities in Azure?
- How can data be secured in Azure Data Lake Storage using various methods?
- Regarding Data Bricks, what differentiates mounting from volumes?
Data Engineer
The interview process for the Data Engineer role had 3 parts: first, an HR chat, then a technical interview with the Line Manager, and finally, an interview with the Hiring Manager (who is the Head of HR). The HR folks were nice. My Line Manager was really knowledgeable and we had a good discussion about my past projects and the technologies I've used. The interview with the Hiring Manager felt like it was designed to test how I perform under pressure, so be ready for that. All in all, it was a good experience.
- Can you tell me why you are interested in working at Chubb?
- Describe yourself in five words.
- Could you explain what a Garbage Collector is in Python?
Data Engineer
I had a small technical interview first. Then, an onsite interview where I had to show my coding skills in areas like sorting, hashing, SQL, graphs, and tree traversals (BFS, DFS), as well as sliding window problems. After that, they asked me about data engineering concepts such as ETL, ELT, and MapReduce.
- Could you explain inner joins?
- What are tuples?
- What's the difference between OLTP and OLAP?
