      Data Engineer Interview

      Apr 7, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Los Gatos, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Gatos, CA) in Dec 2015

      Interview

      I was contacted by their recruiter which followed by a phone call with the hiring manager. Phone interviews went really well, everyone was professional and provided all necessary details. They reached out after about 2 or 3 days to schedule technical phone interview which consisted of basic SQL and algorithm questions. I noticed throughout the interview process that they tend to put some extra attention to their corporate culture, so be aware of that and make sure you reviewed their corporate slides (available on their website). Then I flew to their HQ in Los Gatos, CA. They divide interview process in two parts: 3 interviews in between lunch. If they feel like you're not the best candidate, you will not proceed with the 2nd part and they will tell you right after lunch. That's what happened to me even though I think I answered all questions. Be prepared to answer questions about optimization of code/SQL that you wrote on white board, it seemed that they expect answers in a certain way.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      SQL queries to find time difference between two events given certain condition.
