      Data Engineer Interview

      Feb 15, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Toronto, ON
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Coursera (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2021

      Interview

      I applied on Linkedin. Then the recruiter had sent me the Hackerrank link for a 60 min test(2 SQL+1 Python). The second technical round was a video call with another Data Engineer where I was asked to write SQL queries based on a data model and one coding question. I was then given a take-home exercise to complete before the virtual onsite interview. Onsite interview comprises of 6 rounds with their whole team. It was an overall good experience. The recruiter was also very helpful in clarifying your questions/doubts.
