I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fivetran (Oakland, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
It was a pleasure speaking with everyone. Ryan and Andy were very nice and straightforward with me. Overall, though I did not get the role, I am able to understand the why behind it. They were open and communicative with me.
I applied online. I interviewed at Fivetran in June 2025
Interview
I got a SQL hackerrank first, cleared that and then got an email directly from HR saying "Thanks for taking time to speak with me, we would you to meet with the hiring manager for a live coding exercise". I never spoke to the HR before this, ok acceptable. Met the HM for 75+ mins, behavioural for about 40 mins, seemed impressed. Did the coding exercise, business case - I thought I did well as I got the expected output with a couple hiccups, which in the world of AI should've not been accounted for but eventually they're the boss, got rejected.

Question 1
Behavioural questions on tell me a time, SQL was a coding exercise which was like a walk-through rather than building sql queries.
