I interviewed at Macquarie Group (London, England)
Interview
First round interview with Senior Engineering Manager. Tech questions around data pipelines, fundamentals of data modelling. Was asked about what I would do if I was not an engineer and had to do something else. Interesting experience overall but the process was very slow and I didnot proceed ahead.
