Jobsity Data Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was great, with a good mix of challenging and conversational parts. I'm currently waiting for my final client-facing round, but I've already accepted an offer. The entire experience has been amazing, and I'm really enjoying my time with Jobsity.

I was reached out to on LinkedIn by a recruiter. The whole process had 5 stages and took around 3 months. Since Jobsity is a company that provides outsourcing services, I had to go through both their HR process and their client's process. 1) HR interview: This was a 1-hour interview with the recruiter who initially contacted me. She was very friendly and made the process less stressful by reducing the usual pressure. 2) Tech Screening: This was an automated coding challenge on HackerRank where I had to solve 3 problems within a 2-hour time limit. 3) Data Engineering Challenge: I was given an assignment to create a fully automated data pipeline and upload my solution to GitHub. I had one week to complete this task. 4) Client's Tech Screening: This was similar to the previous tech screening, involving 3 problems to solve in 2 hours using an automated system. However, the problems this time were more specific to Data Engineering, focusing on SQL and distributed computing. 5) Interview with client: In the final interview, the same recruiter was present, along with some members of the client's Data Engineering team (who I would be working with). The Jobsity recruiter made the introductions, and then the client's team mainly conducted the interview. They asked technical questions, particularly about SQL and Apache Airflow, and some behavioral questions. Despite some challenging technical questions, the DEs were very approachable. I received the job offer on the same day as this final client interview.

The hiring process starts with a recruiter call where they ask about my skills and experience. Then, there was a HackerRank test which I passed. Things got a bit strange in the third round; they asked me to do a functional technical project that involved back-end, full-stack programming, and some data engineering techniques. This project took me about two days to complete, and of course, Jobsity never paid me for it. It's supposed to be a Data Engineer position, so I wonder why they expect candidates to do these kinds of challenges that require several programming, back-end, and front-end tasks. After the challenge, which I only had 3 days to finish, they took a whole month to get back to me. After a few emails, they finally responded. I think candidates should really avoid this company. It was a TERRIBLE experience! They need to seriously rethink their hiring process.
