Question 1
Tell me about one project to showcase engineering skills
I applied for Software Engineer Data position. It was fine. 1 hour leetcode style interview on codility. The difficulty was medium. I had an alright experience. Was able to get brute force but not optimized solution.
Recruiter screen was a lot of trivia, very basic trivia that any software engineer should know so make sure to read up on some python syntax etc. to be able to answer the trivia questions. can be tricky given time limit
