My point of contact throughout the interview process was Sumayyah. Sumayyah made a significant difference when it came time to accept the offer. Since the very first interview, she was very nice and supportive, answering any questions I had and ensuring to check in to see if I needed anything. The first stage was the HR interview, where we discussed my experience, the role, and why I wanted to work at Quantexa. After the initial interview, I received the coding project, which I had a week to complete. This project was in Scala and Spark. Although I did not have experience in Scala, I had plenty of time to learn it and complete the assignment. Sumayyah provided me with resources and answered any questions I had about the assignment. The final interview consisted of a 2-hour session with two current Data Engineers. First, we introduced ourselves and discussed my experience. Then, I presented a project that I had worked on. Following the presentation, we talked about the role, and I had the opportunity to ask questions. Next, we reviewed the coding assignment, specifically discussing the problems I did not complete correctly. Afterward, there was a business case study. For this part, I found that watching videos and reading through the Quantexa website was immensely helpful. After the final interview, I heard back within a few days and set up a call to receive feedback about the interview.

Throughout the process I was in contact the Grace Goodman, who guided me through the process, conducted the phone interview and offered me the position at the end of the process. Grace was extremely friendly and informative throughout the whole process, she was quick to respond and to provide assistance whenever I had any questions or concerns. She honestly made a massive difference to the interview process. She made me feel at ease, which I feel benefited me throughout the process. When It came time to accept the offer, part of my dicission was influenced by Grace being so open, friendly and happy to talk me through things. She made me feel like there would be a real sense of community working for this company.
