I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Comcast (Philadelphia, PA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Pretty standard interview process. The company goes through a great deal of trouble to make sure that the interview process is as comfortable as it gets for a candidate.
You have to be a good fit based on the job description and they are more interested in your experience and stories you have related to the work you have been doing rather than tech questions that some interviewers ask.
It had 2 round, both are technical and followed by managerial round.
Initial interview round is full of solving problems and designing pipeline
Second technical round is about explaining past experience and decision making on crucial situation.
The interview process for a Data Engineer position at Comcast typically involves several stages. Initially, candidates submit their applications, highlighting relevant skills in SQL, Python, and Spark. If shortlisted, a recruiter conducts a screening call to discuss experiences and skills. This is followed by a technical virtual interview, where candidates face questions on Comcast’s data systems, ETL pipelines, and SQL queries. Hands-on coding challenges may involve implementing ETL processes and demonstrating knowledge of tools like AWS and Hive.
