      Data Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Semrush in Feb 2023

      Interview

      HR Screening -> Tech Interview -> Team (Manager) Interview HR Screening as everywhere else, the tech interview was nice - from basic questions on your experience to database internals. But you wouldn't work with the guys from the tech interview as in SemRush they are a separate group of people that has no relation to the team you are interviewing in. Thus, expect to get questions about technologies that won't be used on the actual project as in Semrush's process no one knows what team you will go to before passing the tech interview. The team interview was replaced by an interview with a manager (why?) and was bizarre. After the last interview, the company ghosted me for a week without providing their decision or feedback. Conclusion: guys, you better find something else. Here there is only a waste of time and energy.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There were questions like "what technologies would you choose for your next project if you had $1m" without specifying any project-related info/requirements or even the underlying data for which you should pick the tools.

      Dear Sender, Thank you for the feedback. You’re right, technical experts who conduct interviews won’t work with you in one team in most cases. We don’t see it being a problem: this step is needed to check your knowledge and hard skills. The team interview, though, is a necessary step during the hiring process. In your case, it was replaced with the interview with a manager (another step of the process) because we offered you a position for a different team from what had been discussed initially. This change took place during the interview process, and our researchers informed you in advance. If you had passed this stage successfully, the interview with the team would have been the next step. A bit complicated, we agree, but we wanted to provide all the information for transparency. We appreciate your opinion and hope this review and our clarification can help other candidates. Good luck with your career! Yours, Semrush Team
