Hey folks,

Are you a Data Engineer or a Data enthusiast looking for tips to crack interviews at Publicis Sapient?

Well, you have come to the right place. I am breaking this post into two steps:

 

How to get a Data Engineer resume selected at Publicis Sapient?

First of all, frequently read Publicis Sapient Gurgaon reviews and hiring challenges to keep yourself abreast of the skills you should prepare for. You compete with hundreds of candidates to get resumes noticed for every job opening. Sometimes, your resume is not selected for an interview even. I have given job interviews for two consecutive years and realized a SECRET SAUCE. In IT MNCs, every resume goes through ATS software, after which you get a chance of being noticed by interviewers. Hence, the resume must have all the necessary keywords. To ensure this, update your resume with keywords as per every job description. No one will tell you this secret unless you do a paid course. Hush!

 

Publicis Sapient Data Engineer Interview Questions

You should strategically prepare for an interview with research and peer reviews. For junior roles of 1-4 years’ experience, interviewers should focus on the core tech skills. They want to test if you have the technical aptitude and potential to grow in any role required. You should have deep conceptual knowledge in technical skills and domain knowledge (for people in domain-specific positions). For a Data Engineer, you should focus on Big Data, Hadoop, Kafka, Hive, Spark, Cloud (anyone of AWS, GCP, Azure), NoSQL and Java. As your experience level increases, interview rounds and practical coding experience will matter more. 

You may have multiple rounds in Publicis Sapient such as Online Coding round/MCQs, technical and behavioral interviews. In some accounts, you may even give a client interview, like in my case. If you are applying for a Senior Associate or Manager role, you may have even more rounds. It depends on how much the interviewer has been able to quantify your skills. Nowadays, all product companies have 7-8 interview rounds, hence long interviews have become normal. This is true even for non-tech roles!
