Question 1
it is based on knowledge of SQL, Linux, Data Transformations, Spark
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lynx Analytics (Singapore) in May 2021
Interview
I had a negative experience of the interview process. I expressed my salary expectations in the round 1 to HR and she agreed on it. After clearing all the rounds which includes round with a CEO, I was told that they can not offer my expected salary due to some changed internal policy and they offered me lower salary. They could have told me this during the process. My all efforts for Coding assignment were wasted. It is very agonising and frustrating.
Round 1: HR. They will check whether you are a match for the job.
Round 2: Online test
Round 3: Interview with Director of Data Engineering
Round 4: Coding assignment to be completed within 5 days.
Round 5: Interview with CEO
