I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Distilled (Dublin, Dublin) in Sept 2023
Interview
HR called saying that my resume was shortlisted and asked if he could help me prepare for the interview. He called the next day and described the whole process and told be more practical about your recent experience. Told me to tell more technical things describe what I did properly. He was really nice and helpful person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The next day I meant with Head of data analytics and a principal data engineer. I described my recent experiences, I wrote down what they said l, like how they use RPA and other Technologies in their team. I had an experience with both RPA and ad a data engineer with both AWS and Azure. I was cross questioned about the stuff I did, explained the things I did and the things that I couldn't. It was good interview. Then there were some behavioral questions as well. Principal data engineer asked me 3 sql questions which were very basic. I gave multiple solutions for a question and he was impressed. I was asked 3 python questions same basic ones I answered all of them. I was very positive with how it went. I was told i would be reached with a case study. I got the feedback on Thursday saying that I was not selected though. They liked my enthusiasm and experience but they thought that my knowledge as a senior is not enough. So basically I should have seen more indepth of my project which I couldn't due to issues and Administration access. I felt they found someone else who was better maybe. But I really appreciated the feedback but was very disappointed by the result as the feedback seemed a little too forced at the same time. In the interview they seemed that they really liked me and well I answered everything. The hr was really good honestly, he was kind helpful and very supportive. In the end if interview I asked 2 questions which looked like made the Head really like me.
