What are the current perks and needs I would ask. Or is the intention for the candidate to ask this question?

We would be providing that list of perks and needs

I wonder if we could ask additional questions about creating a data model (maybe as a bonus). Something like "what additional information would you capture to correlate this with employee performance or company value". This is of course a silly example but the point is to get them to think about data capture and data models. |

| - Given a set of users and a set of companies, find the correct match for each user, based on its characteristics and the ones of the company. |

Will the company characteristics be provided by us?

Great concept and choice of datasets! I expect tool/database choice will be very important — Numbers and my MacBook are really struggling! :-) Good 'detail' questions & comments so far; no matter how many we think & talk through in advance, I look forward to seeing how it "evolves" based on actual experience with candidate(s)! |

How well did this work for the on-site?
|

I think that it went pretty well. The only thing I would add is to let candidates know that they will need to have a database installed and a development environment to manipulate data so that they can go farther in the exercise. The candidate that did this and to whom we extended an offer said that he had been in several interview processes and that ours was the best!! 😉 😉 |

Sorry guys, I've been busy lately. I will improve based on your suggestions. But yeah, the candidate really liked the challenged and felt engaged with it. My only comment would be that the easy questions seemed to be very easy. Maybe we should start from the medium ones, since the candidate quickly went to get those easy wins, and did, but that took him some time that could have invested in the medium or hard ones, and show more of his expertise. |

I totally agree with @HzJavier |

@orojuan @AnaCostillaG @magania Now that the data team is taking over this process, we should review this document and revamp it with what we've discussed internally. We can open a new branch to document what we discussed last week so it's also visible to everyone else in case they want to provide feedback and contribute in any way. |

@zxul767 Worth closing this PR pending the review suggested above (#39 (comment))? |
This is a proposal for the Data engineer onsite challenge. In the design was involved @go-diego-go, @vidalon, @jivux and me.
