Behavioral Technical Coding

So the whole thing was 3 rounds. First up was a quick chat with a recruiter about my background, why I'm interested, and just general fit. Then I had a live coding session in CoderPad with a senior analyst, where I had to do 5 SQL problems. They were about joins, aggregations, window functions, and figuring out overlapping intervals, all in MySQL. The last round was a 45-minute behavioral chat with two senior data analysts. We really dug into my past projects, covering stuff like pipeline architecture, why I designed dashboards a certain way, how I picked metrics, making sure things were fault-tolerant, and how I'd optimize SQL queries (like looking at query plans, using CTEs versus subqueries, partitioning, and slot contention). They left the last 15 minutes for my questions. I heard back about their decision pretty quickly, within a few days after the final interview.

Confirmed questions5 questions
  • Can you walk us through your data pipeline project, explaining how it all fits together from data ingestion to the dashboard?
  • What were your strategies for handling late-arriving data?
  • Which Airflow operators did you employ in your project?

Behavioral Technical

First, we said hello and then I was asked some questions. Some of them were technical and some were not. I was asked to introduce myself first. Then, I had to talk about a project I worked on. After that, the technical questions began. The HR person then asked me what I knew about the company. Finally, they asked if I had any questions for them.

Behavioral Technical Coding

First, there was an HR screening with intro, behavioral questions about projects, and some basic technical stuff like SQL joins, indexes, and a bit of Python. After about 3 days, I got an invite for the second round, a coding round on Google Meet using a CoderPad link where I had to share my screen. It had 5 intermediate SQL questions based on Geotab fleet data, focusing on window functions, COALESCE, basic CTEs, AVG, and ROUND. It lasted 1 hour. About a week later, I got the invite for the final round, a 45-minute session with the hiring manager and a senior team member. It was mostly a resume deep dive, asking about my projects and decisions, and they also reviewed my GitHub. It was a really nice vibe, everyone was welcoming. I got an offer, but I'd already accepted another, so I declined.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Can you tell me about SQL indexes and joins?
  • What are the disadvantages of using indexes?
  • Do you consider Python a functional programming language?
