I interviewed at Inov8 Consulting (Edinburgh, Scotland)
Interview
Technical question and some questions about yourself, for example why you are interested in that role, my previous experience, etc. All are pretty standard interview questions. Had a test for my technical knowledge, wasn’t too hard
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Inov8 Consulting
Interview
Very friendly and relatively informal interviews. First was a general interview and then I was sent a data cleaning task. A week or so later I did a second interview with two people, where I presented my solution for the task and spent a little time on questions too. It was a lot more genuine and less generic than other interviews I've had.

What kind of company would you ideally like to work for?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Inov8 Consulting in Feb 2022
Interview
Initial interview by phone: very pleasant conversation with the interviewer, lasting about 45 minutes. Focusses on the type of work involved, and you get to know a little more about the company. You are asked what you know about data engineering, and about your work background.
The second interview involved pre-prepared completion of a data-cleaning task, using a method of your choice eg. Excel, Python, SQL. You show your method in a screencast during the interview, presentation style. I went with a Jupyter notebook, so it was broken into sections, but perhaps they were looking for something more Powerpoint slide-y.
