1. Application & Initial Contact
After submitting my application online, I received an email from a recruiter about two weeks later. The first step was a phone screening with HR. This round focused on:
My background and interest in United Airlines
A quick overview of my technical skills (SQL, Excel, Python, data visualization)
Availability and salary expectations
The recruiter also gave a high-level overview of the interview process.
2. Technical Round
The next step was a technical interview over Microsoft Teams. This was heavily SQL-focused, with questions on: WINDOW FUNCTIONS, WRITING EFFICIENT AND OPTIMISED QUERIES.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Tell me about yourself"
"Why United Airlines?"
"Rate your SQL proficiency on a scale of 1-10?"
"Write a query to find the 8th largest salary?"
"Write a query to remove duplicates?"
"How many rows would this join operation return given we have these two tables?"
It Includes 3-4 rounds, first one is mostly technical, then later on its more about problem solving, business use case and analytics and last with a stakeholder, that's just a sharing understanding of role and repsonsiblities
