      Data Engineer Interview

      12 Jun 2018
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at last.fm (London, England) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      The interview was typical of a software company. Started with a phone screening, followed by an online coding assignment which included 3 coding challenges (language of your choice). You may be asked to do some paired programming with one of the engineers instead. The final interview was onsite and included a 3-4 interviews with different members of the team. As a software engineer, expect interviews with the web team, data team and the management. This will include typical algorithmic type questions, high level whiteboard design sessions (similar to day-to-day whiteboard sessions) and finally some general discussion based interviews with lead members and management. Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed. Tip: the engineering team are good, be prepared!
