Data Engineer Interview Experience
Interview process
The recruiter mentioned that I will be heavily judged on my Communication as well as problem-solving. What went well: 1. I solved all the questions. 2. I was communicating very well. I wasn't able to pass the round because the interviewer wasn't helpful at all. I asked a question regarding an assumption to the third SQL question, and she said no. When I coded it and received the wrong answer, she said your assumption was wrong. Also, she said, "Don't tell me, you can solve it any way you want to solve." Her phone rang twice (I could sense she was using it, looking down). She was kind of rude, she ran my code while I was coding, causing confusion at my end. Yes, an interview is a collaborative exercise in DoorDash. She added something to my code even without telling me, leading it to fail, and consuming my time to debug.
