pokemon interview questions

Interview

The interview process itself took about 2 months. First call was a 30 minute screen with my recruiter. Then came a 30 minute interview with the hiring manager. The final interview was with a group of 5 people (manager included) over the course of 2 days. Lots of the questions they asked were situational questions and typical STAR Method questions. About two weeks later, I got a call from my recruiter with an offer from TPCi! They really loved my relationship building skills and my knowledge of the TCG. Overall, I had a very positive experience. Not only was I offered a role, the recruiters were so responsive and helpful. I really got the sense they were advocating for me and had my best interests at heart. I’m very excited to begin collaborating with some of the folks I interviewed with and work with my direct manager.

Interview

Everything went smoothly and was offered position until discussion of salary. Asked if it was possible for Salary to be abit higher but was still within their offered rangeand stated i was alright with the initial offered as well, but just would like to inquiry for a slightly higher pay due to past experience, told me they will get back to me and took almost a week before they got back with a rejection. Their rejection message was weird as they stated it was “unfair” they couldnt offer my inquired salary and just straight up revoked the initial offer. The hiring team took forever to respond my question even though i stated i was alright with the initial offer. Dont waste your time with them. (They take days to respond)

Interview

I only made it to round 2.1) First, I got a phone interview with a recruiter. She was pleasant and asked me about my background. Asked me as simple SQL question (see below). After about 4-5 business days, she scheduled another 2) In the 2nd round, which was supposed to be a more technical with the hiring manager, was just full of issues with the questions.a)The questions that she asked were not grammatically correct and could have used a good proofread. Some of the sentences were also missing words and were kind of vague, so I had to just assume I knew what she was talking about.b) The SQL questions that she asked me were extremely basic questions. I don’t remember exactly what they were, but she had two tables and you had to answer some simple questions on the data. If you know how to use an ORDER BY and how JOINS work, you should be good to go. They were the type of questions you might see if you apply for a data related internship or first year position. I was really surprised because the position asks for 5-7 years of experience. c) She tried to tell me one of my SQL queries were wrong because I needed an ORDER BY clause, but she was wrong. I’ve been writing SQL queries for about 8, almost 9 years. I know what I’m doing. I didn’t correct her because I didn’t want to be seen as combative.d) She didn’t even review any of the SQL I wrote with me. If she would have, this is where I could have really shined with my almost 9 years of experience because I would have gone into detail about good practices that influenced why I wrote my code the way I did. 3) She didn’t even ask me some questions about non SQL skills needed for the position.a) I didn’t get any questions on ETL processes, which I was disappointed in because that’s what I really shine at. I have 7 years of experience with this.b) I didn’t get any questions about Python, which I’ve been working with for about 4 years now.c) In order to build an ETL process, you have to have some knowledge of database design, she didn’t ask me any questions on this.d) When working with ETL, you also have to have knowledge about speed and performance, I got not one question about this.e) The job description mentioned Tableau or similar tools, I haven’t worked with Tableau since 2020. This was evident on my resume. All data visualization tool concepts are the same. I’ve worked with numerous ones. She didn’t ask me about any design concepts, just Tableau specific questions.I’m not mad at the hiring manager, she’s trying to build a department from the ground up, but this is definitely not a senior level position, based on the questions I got asked. I also think she needs more experience conducting an interview, especially a technical one. This is more like a junior, MAYBE a mid-level position, definitely not a senior level position based on the questions I got asked.
