First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Nortal.
Data Engineer
Started with a recruiter call, then a video chat with my future manager. The final stage was an on-site assignment where I got to meet the team and they met me. The assignment involved a role-play, presenting an AI Framework to a prospective client.
- Can you list some open-source LLMs you're familiar with?
- How would you explain this "ML-concept" to a non-expert?
Data Engineer
First, they review your application to see if you meet the basic requirements. Then, a recruiter or hiring manager will call or email you to chat about the role and your interest. After that, there's a technical interview where you'll solve a problem and talk about your experience and tech skills. This is followed by a behavioral interview focusing on teamwork, conflict resolution, and leadership. If all goes well, they'll make an offer, which you can negotiate. Finally, once you accept, you go through onboarding.
- What makes you want to join our company, and what makes you a strong candidate for this role?
Data Engineer
The process started with a good HR call. Then I was given a technical assignment to create an ETL pipeline with Airflow and Postgres, due in a week. After submitting it, I asked for feedback after 4 days and was told the developer needed more time. Two days later, the HR informed me she was on vacation and I should continue with another HR. The developer also questioned my approach. I explained myself, and the HR passed the feedback to the developer. That was the end of it, and I'm still waiting for any further updates after a week.
- Technical assignment where you had to create a simple ETL pipeline using airflow, storing data in Postgres.
- Regarding the technical assignment, could you explain why you didn't implement it using a different approach?
