In codility test they asked me to code in Java script. I am data engineer how can I do coding in Javascript. I know language is similar like java but the problem statement was for web developement guy. Also there was no option to change language in codility. This was not good at all. I contacted recruiter 3 times after that but no reply from them. Please its request to recruiters to be professional on this.

The questions on glider was confusing and explanation was quite bad. Also personally I hated the IDE. Question 2 : Was on shelf in a supermarket where you can only pick an item from the left or the right. The first item from each side is fixed and you need to find the best combination where you get the max value (Sorry cant remember the question that much) Question 1 : Didnt even understand. Was about a dog being stuck in caged which were represented by * and -, where - were spaces in the fence

Na entrevista técnica, houve questões relacionadas à modelagem de dados, conceitos, etc. Também foi necessário desenhar uma arquitetura de dados em nível macro para uma determinada situação, bem como escrever códigos em SQL, Python e PySpark para algumas poucas questões, porém, nada extremamente complexo.
