Behavioral Technical Coding

There were 3 interview rounds plus a written test. Round 1 focused on resume and project questions. Round 2 covered technical topics like Python, Power BI, and SQL. Round 3 was with the manager, including some behavioral and technical questions, though the manager seemed disengaged, joining late and leaving early, cutting the interview short. Despite the time invested in the interviews and written exam, there was no follow-up regarding the results, which was frustrating as similar experiences were reported by others in my network. This lack of professionalism and communication was disappointing.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you explain what a pivot is in SQL and demonstrate its usage?
