InterWorks interview questions

The process started with an hour long call with the Director of Sales. The discussion was a mix of background, experience, consulting style, and technical questions. After that, I was given a technical assessment using Snowflake. The task required creating fact and dimension tables and preparing a presentation to explain the solution. I spent around two days completing the assessment, as there were many small details to work through, including SQL filtering logic, modelling decisions, and presentation preparation. I passed the assessment and was invited to present my work. The presentation focused on my approach, trade offs, data modelling decisions, and how I structured the solution. I put a lot of effort into making the presentation professional, clear, and polished. However, I found the next stage disappointing. The presentation was conducted by a Data Engineer interviewing another Data Engineer, which felt unusual and unstructured for this type of process. After investing significant time into the assessment and presentation, I received an automated rejection email with no meaningful feedback. Overall, the process did not feel well structured. The assessment required substantial effort, but the follow up felt generic and impersonal. The company talks about ownership, but from the interview experience it felt like there may not be a clear support structure in place and that consultants could be placed onto projects with limited guidance. The people I initially spoke with were pleasant, but the overall process could be much more professional, transparent, and respectful of candidate effort.
