First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at KPI Partners.
Data Engineer
So, first they had me talk about my resume and go through all my projects in detail, asking questions as I went. Then we dove into Python and SQL theory, like the advanced stuff. After that, it was coding time - I had to write Python code for basic and advanced SQL, and then some DSA problems to wrap it up.
- Could you explain the difference between a dictionary and a default dictionary in Python?
Senior Data Engineer
There were 2 technical rounds and 1 HR round. The two technical rounds were back-to-back, each lasting an hour. The role focused on SQL and ETL tools with scenarios. The first technical round was a screening, and the second was the main technical interview.
- Database query questions related to the data engineer role
- Knowledge about understanding data and databases
Data Engineer
Recruiter and manager calls were good, professional and helpful. But then the director struggled to get Zoom working, making us reschedule multiple times which lacked professionalism. They asked weird questions that sounded like they were from the job description but didn't make sense. They accused me of being a 'ringer' for someone else because of Zoom lag, and then accused me of not having real experience, saying they've met many liars. The director had a condescending attitude, and I felt racist/discriminatory vibes at times.
- Can you explain your approach to data warehousing?
- Is someone else answering for you?
- Given the latency, are you certain it's you speaking and not someone else?
