The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ZS Associates (New York, NY)
Interview
One of the worst interview ever attended.
There were 2 technical and 1 HR round
Round 1. Simple SQL questions on joins, aggregation and stuff. More question on project etc.
Round 2. Case study round where they are expecting to design a data model, data pipeline , architecture, report details and more in just 1hr 15min, crazy!
But here is the worst part there will be a another discussion on the same case study that you have submitted earlier, here the interviewer's attitude itself will make you to just close the call. The way they speak is as if they are the only one who know everything and they are the masters. Seeing here you can definetly understand how employees centric this org and the management is.
Better save time by not attending interview for this org.
Went through the typical HR call in the initial stage; I felt that the interviewer was disinterested, but still proceeded to mention that the team will schedule an interview with me by end of the week.
I followed up a week after when they initially mentioned I can anticipate to hear back from the team. The process entailed 2 stages, with the initial stage online, and the second stage in person.
Interview comprised of 5 rounds,
1) HR phone screen for role alignment
2)Technical discussion with Senior Consultant (tools, data engineering/SQL)
3)Hiring Manager round (technical + behavioral)
4)Project presentation on an end-to-end pipeline (with Senior Manager & Associate Principal)
5) Final discussion with Principal
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about the project you worked on where you created an end-to-end data pipeline
It was very streamlined and structured. Three rounds and the first round was the most difficult one, this was followed by a case study and two rounds testing my technical capability followed by a fitment round.
