great!

Thanks for the mock session on code interview. Gave me a good idea of where I need to focus on.

Thanks for the mock and the feedback. Very helpful.

Thanks for the interview session/sessions. I feel more prepared for the upcoming interviews.

Thanks for the helpful prep session. 1) Product sense: Need to focus more on the entity in question 2) Data modeling section: Need to practice clarifying entities and then how they are modeled

Hi Ash, Thanks again for today — this was really helpful in clarifying the structure and expectations for the Meta DE full loop. I especially appreciated the breakdown of product sense, data modeling (star schema focus), and how SQL questions are structured with layered conditions. My main takeaway is that I need to go deeper on data modeling and product sense framing, while tightening up clean, production-style SQL. I’m going to spend the next couple of days focused on those areas. I’d love to schedule a mock session next where we run a full simulation and get candid feedback on any improvements. I sent over a few time options. Thanks again — looking forward to the next session.

Cost is high for 1 hour More constructive feedback could be given during interview

Thanks for the session, I've learned a lot.

Thanks again, I appreciated your feedbacks.

Incredibly helpful and realistic interview. Offered plenty of actionable feedback and sincere advice, would highly recommend!

Thanks! This was very helpful. I appreciated how you tailored the question and mock to my specific situation and offered a lot of tips for improvement!

Good mock interview with realistic questions and specific, actionable feedback.

Thanks *******, for the session! Will definitely work more on the SQL and book mock interviews after clearing the first round (finger crossed!) 

super helpful thank you! good feedback on mock interview and helpful tips on areas where I'm weak

Thank you for the well prepared mock interview problems and detailed feedbacks! I will schedule 2 or 3 more Tech and BQ sessions.

Thank you. This was a very valuable session.

Easy to schedule and professional

The coach is experienced and asked relevant questions, and hinted at the right time so candidate can focus on the right question.

Clearly, I was challenged by a couple of the more obscure problems from Meta's catalogue...which definitely put me in an uncomfortable path.  However, the insights from that call spurred me to take my own preparation in a different direction, so overall, it was pretty effective.

Hi *******, thanks for your help! This was super helpful and gave solid perspective on what to expect. Appreciate the pointers regarding time.

cool coach

The mock gave me good insight into how an interviewer judges a data modeling round, and what kind of signals are they really looking for.

I was a bit nervous because it was my first time doing a DE interview in the new format. Thank you so much for guiding me!!

the service is easy to schedule and very helpful

I enjoyed my mock interview with you. I'm looking forward to the feedback report on my performance.

Thank you for the grilling questions

Thanks

Thanks for your advice and feedback. I will probably schedule a session on behavioural rounds and product sense rounds in the future Excellent selection of coaches and very useful

I think mock interview with experts that have experience at your target are very vaulable.

Super helpful session for taking prep. Coach was very professional and helpful. 

Thank you for all your valuable advice Very useful mock session!

Great session. I would likely recommend Prepfully along with other services. Prepfully has a good price point compared to the competition. 

Thanks *******, appreciate the advice and suggestions on interview prep, and the road to staff engineer. The suggestions on the best books and resources was an eye opener. Definitely would be getting these books and start reading, thanks again. Amazing coach, has a plethora of knowledge. Great engineering insights, and advice on what to read, how to become a better engineer, and path forward, talked about interview insights, best resources to level up, practice techniques etc

Thanks for all your feedback. It was really helpful! I will definitely re-book another soon. Thanks. All interviewer that I met is really kind and skillful.

Coach chose a good problem and good time box to go through for the round. Feedback was helpeful

Quality coach

Thank you for the session! You have certainly increased my confidence going in to the behavioral portion. I may reach out for more sessions. Thanks again Excellent session for behavioral prep. Coach provided specific and useful feedback.

Thank you so much for the targeted Feedback and advice. Session went amazing and I learned a lot. I got a lot of targeted feedback and advice that identified my strengths and weaknesses, and steps to take to improve. 

Great feedback specific to the role and level I am interviewing for. Good behavioral prep at a good price point.

Thank you so much! I definitely feel like I learned a lot and it will definitely help me with my system design not just in Instacart but other companies. Also, I appreciate you answering all my questions and staying a little bit over. Once again, thank you so much. 

Felt like a real interview experience. 

Prepfully is a one-of-a-kind platform for practicing mock interviews for Data Engineers. The coaches seems to be experts in their fields and are aware of what they are doing. Great experience so far. 

Great platform!

Good platform, slightly string-together (i.e. using zoom, other stuff) but good pricing and useful information.

It was great, coach had excellent knowledge. Only feedback would be coach can turn on the camera and share screen, it builds connect and easier to understand. 

Good experience overall, no dark patterns, it’s really helpful.

Thank you for the session and staying a bit over time.  Good platform, knowledgeable coach.

Excellent Practice! 

Thanks for your honest feedback! Great session! I felt it like a real interview. The coach was very friendly and gave very useful feedback. 

Thanks for the session! There were some great learnings from the feedback that you shared. Best part is - more affordable than other platforms but offers the similar quality

Excellent practice!

Hey coach, thanks again for taking out the time and conducting a system design mock session. Also thanks for the great feedback on improvements to make. I will try and implement them with whatever time I have remaining. Please let me know if there is any other improvement I could make apart from what we discussed that might help me out  The session was amazing. Learnt a lot. Felt like a real interview, it let me know about my improvement points and also a few tips on how to best approach a problem

Coach gave real time valuable feedback 

good

Thank you so much for your pin pointed feedback. This was the best mock interview I ever took. Also thanks so much for spending extra time with me despite we ran out of time  The behavioral mock was really worth it. One of the best mock interviews that i ever took. Reasons are below:  1. Coach even before began understood the job role and learned about other interview rounds in the onsite to asses what might be asked  2. Interview felt real and he could exactly pin point areas where I felt uncomfortable answering tough questions. He also gave feedback about the desired signals and tips to answer the question  3. His tips on how to raise the bar in the answers were invaluable  4. Coach was not in a hurry to end the session. He also spent extra 5-7 mins after we ran out of time

Thanks *******, I really enjoyed the mock interview, I appreciate the feedback as well. It was nice to understand the time constraints of Meta interview, and how to proceed.  The interview was exactly how a real one would be structured, thoroughly enjoyed the process, feedback. The interviewer also provided hints appropriately and also communicated very well. Overall would definitely recommend these mock interviews

It’s amazing 

it's great!

Great coach, understood I had already prepared for this question so gave me some pointers on what interviewers might ask as followups.

Easy to use. Great value. Very good coaches

I don't have much, in terms of feedback overview. That is how good the overall interview mock process was.

My interview was rescheduled because the previous interviewer was a no show, whch wasn't great. This coach was great though! I had a very good experience.

Hi, thank you for addressing my questions/concerns. Those are helpful and your feedback gave me a boost to continue trying harder.

Mock interviews help more than anything to get ready for the real ones.

Good experience 

Thank you! 

i really enjoyed it! the constructive feedback was very helpful

Thank you so much for your help and feedback! Extremely useful and helpful. 

It was nice talking to you, and thanks for the feedbacks!! It provides an experience of what the real interview, which helps the most to prepare.

Thank you ******* for the tips and tricks, and your valuable feedback. I will be focussing on the areas you've asked me to improvise. It was really a great and well-organized session. During the whole mock-up, I thought I was in a real interview and felt a lot of pressure to solve the problems. Plus, after the interview, the coach pinpointed the areas of my strengths/weaknesses and provided a lot of valuable tips and tricks that boosted my confidence.

I appreciated that you showed my knowledge gaps and dug into the areas where I was weak. I learned about HTAP databases thanks to you.  

Good interview 

I like your platform and it is more cost effective than interviewing.io which is a big plus    

His live feedback was very helpful, and he stayed on past the hour to help me pinpoint specific areas of improvement + identify useful reading materials + topics for new grad SWE roles.

I really appreciated the question you asked, candid feedback on how to approach this sort of problems and tips you provided. This exactly what I wanted out of this session. Thank you.

He guided me overall interview process and gave valuable feedback

Very helpful. Scheduled a repeat session. Thanks. Really useful and high quality feedback.

Excellent guidance, couldn't expect anything better. Thanks for your guidance. Excellent guidance.

Thank you so much, *******!

Thanks, that was great practice.  I felt like he did a great job, letting me think on things without rushing. Felt like a real interview. I did have a somewhat hard time hearing him occasionally. And I think even to such a degree that I may have 'missed a point' because I feel like I actually did do a thing he asked for, but, he didn't quite understand me. However, under ideal conditions it would have been a great one. And still was a really good very insightful mock interview.

Thank you so much for taking time to interview me. Your suggestions were excellent and I have enjoyed the entire process.  The interview was very helpful and I feel very comfortable in attending the real interview.

Thanks! Answered the questions I had as well as identified my flaws in white boarding skills

*******: Thanks for taking out the time and providing meaningful feedback. It could be cheaper :) 

It was good to get the mock interview done. It helped me understand what to expect.

good prep medium

Thanks for taking interview and sharing insights  I like the prompt reply I get from support, and interviewer was also good 

This was the most helpful session. Thank you for taking the time to interview me today. Hope to see you at Instacart. :) I did the very first interview, so not a lot of feedback as of now 

Thanks so much for all your help in helping me through ETL examples! I definitely plan to review everything we talked about to better prepare myself. I think the price is a bit steep, but I definitely enjoyed my advice session!

Less surprises

Real experts

You are super knowledgeable about the position's interview process and the company's intent to hire. Very communicative and the questions asked were really to the point and not directly leading me to the answer. Follow-up questions are helpful. Felt it like a real interview. Really helpful.

The service is quite good. It really helped me gain confidence.

Thanks a lot for your time, input, and honest feedback. Helps me realize where I stand and what it takes to design systems that scale. Excellent checkpoint to introspect and identify what skills are required to design systems at this level.

Thanks for the interview!

I liked the interview.

It was very involving and thorough.

Thanks *******! This session was really helpful! I felt like the interviewer really knew a lot about the interview process. He gave me good advice on where I could do better and what I should focus on. I wish I had done this before with other interviews.

Thank you for the input and time I really liked the interview having experts from the same company you are interviewing. It will help you prepare well.

Thanks for the feedback and tips- it's really helpful.

Thanks for sharing the detailed feedback and suggestions at the end - it is super helpful.

It was a good real interview like experience.

Thank you ******* for your feedback and extra time!! You observed my pain points in the interview and focused on how to improve - pausing after question, walking through the analysis with the big data mindset, topics to focus on (partitioning, grouping sets), info on (Why DE@FB), some tips to talk about my interest in the role, ending with a positive note just made my day! I had a great time chatting with you! :) This is my 2nd technical mock interview and I feel pretty confident in my data modeling skills. I was able to improve after working on the feedback in my 1st. The interviewer was very experienced in the role I am interviewing for and was able to give detailed feedback to work on.

Clarity on process and questions. Answered all my questions.
