I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Equifax (Auckland, Auckland) in Aug 2021
Interview
* Asked HR girl if interview was technical. She didn't know.
* Interview was techincal, python, tableau and SQL questions following a .docx document with questions by the developer (data wrangler guy)
* It looked that there wasn't a connection between HR and the area.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
100% technical. They weren't interested in the person, just testing skills.
Everything was live, with the 2 interviewers watching yourself:
* Data structures in python
* What's a tuple
* use zip and iterate 2 lists same time
* how to use tableau
* open a data source
* generate bar charts (i had to give the instruction to the developer, he was controlling his laptop)
* sql questions
The interview process included multiple rounds such as an HR screening, technical discussions focused on SQL, PySpark, Databricks, Azure Data Factory, and project experience, followed by a managerial discussion. The process mainly evaluated technical skills, problem-solving ability, and project understanding.
there were 3 interviews. 1 with a recruiter where she asked a couple sql questions, an onsite that consisted of some python coding questions, and one with the manager that assessed high level decision making.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Equifax in Nov 2024
Interview
Interview process involved one recruiter screen, one technical interview with a data scientist and manager, and one behavioral interview with a director. Consistent and fast communication was given by the recruiter. The technical interview involved 2 SQL problems and 2 python DS&A problems. Interviewers were quite friendly outside of the director who acted quite disinterested during the interview, no follow up questions to anything i said, and gave extremely short answers to my questions to him.
