The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

Had 2 interviewers. The difficulty was average. They asked about data lineage, SQL, data modeling, working with stakeholders, Python, Hadoop, data warehouse, and data lake. Also asked about gathering requirements. It was average difficulty.Candidate-reported process
The interview process focused on understanding your typical daily tasks in your previous job and any projects you were involved in. They also asked about your strengths and weaknesses. There were scenario-based questions as well, and a key part was assessing your potential for long-term commitment to the company.Candidate-reported process
The interview was pretty by-the-book and pro. They hit me with tech stuff like SQL, Excel, and making charts, and then asked about how I work with others, talk to people, and solve problems. Also covered some general stuff for the job.Candidate-reported process
