The interview process for the Data Engineer Internship typically consists of three main stages:
Initial Screening (15–20 minutes)
Conducted by a recruiter or hiring manager, this is a brief phone or video call to discuss the candidate’s background, interest in the role, and availability. The interviewer may ask about basic technical knowledge and motivation for applying.
Technical Assessment (60–90 minutes)
Candidates complete a take-home assignment or participate in a live coding session. This typically involves working with data manipulation tasks, SQL queries, basic Python scripting, and understanding of ETL concepts. The goal is to assess problem-solving skills, code quality, and data handling ability.
Final Interview (45–60 minutes)
A behavioral and technical interview with one or more team members. This may include:
A walkthrough of the technical assessment.
Questions about past projects or coursework.
Discussion on data pipelines, databases, and cloud technologies.
An opportunity for the candidate to ask questions and learn more about the team and company culture.
