Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview process consisted of two rounds. The first was an introductory interview where I was asked about my motivation for joining the team. Surprisingly, there was also a somewhat technical question about how I would approach providing a stakeholder with an overview of the largest bank deposits, specifically looking for an answer involving percentile scores. They also asked about the advantages of using pyspark.
