“The interview is definitely hard, but achievable with preparation because the timing is very less. In the screening, you get five Python and five SQL in one hour, and you need to pass at least three SQL and three Python.”
“What stood out to me is that every loop round started with product sense, then I had to turn that answer into a data model, and from that they jumped straight into SQL and Python. One case was even an Instagram metric drop where I had to do root cause analysis live.”
