Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me something about yourself.
during case discussion: guide me through the case
Went through the typical HR call in the initial stage; I felt that the interviewer was disinterested, but still proceeded to mention that the team will schedule an interview with me by end of the week.
I followed up a week after when they initially mentioned I can anticipate to hear back from the team. The process entailed 2 stages, with the initial stage online, and the second stage in person.
Interview comprised of 5 rounds,
1) HR phone screen for role alignment
2)Technical discussion with Senior Consultant (tools, data engineering/SQL)
3)Hiring Manager round (technical + behavioral)
4)Project presentation on an end-to-end pipeline (with Senior Manager & Associate Principal)
5) Final discussion with Principal
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about the project you worked on where you created an end-to-end data pipeline
It was very streamlined and structured. Three rounds and the first round was the most difficult one, this was followed by a case study and two rounds testing my technical capability followed by a fitment round.
