First, HR called me and asked some basic questions and very simple technical questions about distributed systems. About a week later, the technical interview took place. After the interview, I was told that a case study would follow, but after more than a week, I received no further feedback and was ultimately rejected.

The interview process started with a first interview focused on communication skills and problem-solving approach. This was followed by a take-home task and then a review of that task. It's important to be good at approaching problems and explaining your methodology clearly.

Technical Coding
I was sent a technical assessment with SQL queries based on a dataset. After that, I had a technical interview to go over my submitted solution. They also asked me some other things about the company, if I was open to relocating, and if I was willing to learn the language. I never got any feedback after the interview, so I guess they didn't move forward with me, which is a bit disappointing as I think communication would have been better.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- Discuss the queries in the technical assessment and any other technical questions.
- Tell me about your solution to the technical assessment.
