Reported candidate questions
None yet. A question appears here only with a named, attributable source.
Representative practice questions
These are practice questions written for this guide. They are not claimed to be questions this company has asked.
Given product usage events, write SQL to compute weekly active users per product and the share who used more than one product.
Design a pipeline that turns in-product events from many SaaS products into a shared analytics model with consistent user identities.
How would you handle a customer's request to delete their data across raw, cleaned and modelled tables?
How would you define and test a 'monthly active user' metric so every team computes it the same way?
Tell me about a time you disagreed with a teammate in a distributed team and how you resolved it.
Preparation overview
Prepare in three areas: technical fundamentals, data system design, and behavioural stories. SaaS analytics revolves around product events, consistent definitions and privacy, so expect those themes.
Technology focus
Revise SQL aggregation and window functions, data quality and governance: aggregations, data contracts, Unity Catalog governance (for governance concepts).
System-design focus
Practise the clickstream platform and reporting platform case studies.
Behavioural preparation
Read the published values and prepare real examples that show each one in action.
