Thanks for sharing some tips and tricks with me today.

The interview did really put a perspective on how the actual interview would be.

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks again for your help! Really appreciated the specific pointers on what you were looking for, and the example of what you'd be looking for in terms of ETL.

Thank you for the session, information and tips!

Thanks again!

All Good.

Quite a good experience

Thank you for coaching!

Thank you very much, your feedback was incredibly helpful He's a great coach, he read my instructions and set up the mock interview exactly as requested

Its good

no feedback, everythign was as expected

Thanks for the feedback. The interview environment was simulated very well and your comments were pertinent and helpful to help me improve. The coach did a good job simulating a real interview environment and seemed very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the process. The feedback was critical but constructive and useful information to improve.

Relevant interview and coach. There are very few platforms with similar offering and they have not won customers' trust yet.

Thank you for all the information. Had good practice interview.

Thank you for your time and kind help. The coach is very patient to answer questions, and provide useful information about the specific interview.

The coach sounded pretty knowledgeable on the interview process and made it enjoyable. 

Coaches are excellent when providing guidance

Easy interface, nice service and quality mentors. 

The experience is smooth and effective

I was able to find the right person to help me with my intervie.

Its a good platform

Great session on SQL/ETL, very informative!

I think it's very professional and I have learnt much about the process from this coach.

I met a really helpful mentor. He had a lot of insight to share and was very helpful!        

Feedback was good, interviewer had relevant experience

Thank you! Was really happy we got to work together. I think you had great actionable advice and insights into the interview process. Coach was really helpful and knowledgeable. 

Thank you for taking me through my first ever data modeling mock interview! Very knowledgeable and helpful! 

This is a helpful website to provide real life mock interviews. The coaches are high quality and helpful.

Easy to schedule and practice interviewing. No hassle. Excellent service.  

Good platform for mock Interviews. Good experience with this coach.

Thanks for the session! It was very insightful and I feel a lot more confident in how to prepare for the data modeling interview. The session was very helpful, especially since I have a data modeling interview coming up. Understanding what an interviewer is looking for and how to approach the interview allows me to be more confident and better focus my time in order to prepare.

Service is good

Thanks. I believe the mock interview was definitely helpful for me

Thanks so much *******, really helpful session! You offered a really great approach to explaining the multiple rounds in a Meta on-site interview. Subject matter was extremely relevant, data engineering interview prep materials are slim online. This was a huge help understanding the types of questions in an upcoming interview. Really enjoyed how I was able to pair with a coach that works for the company I am interviewing with

You were very patient and very clear in your communication.  I appreciated how quickly you provided feedback to "we dont need to worry about that" to keep it on track.  The interview was paced well and I feel like we had enough time to cover all the bases.  Your feedback was concise and actionable and I know what I need to research more now.  I would love to do follow up sessions with you on the other sections of the onsite. One of the best interviewers I've experienced in general.

Good session

The info session went well. A few good points were discussed which are certainly helpful.

I have no idea about how FAANG company interviews work & I chose Prepfully after watching their youtube videos and reviews

Great way to prepare for interviews

Thanks for the interview, *******.  I found it really helpful.  My only feedback would be to maybe provide suggestions for study resources, though I realize that's not really part of a mock interview (which is what I signed up for).  Additionally, I'm hoping to see the correct solution to that ETL question in your written feedback.  (I can't see it until after I submit my review).  I'd never down a mock interview or Data Modeling interview before.  I found it helpful to learn the structure and pace of the DM interview and the types of questions asked.  The interviewer provided some helpful feedback also.  Additionally, we spent a few minutes on an ETL question at the end, but I was not able to solve it correctly.  I now realize that I need to focus some attention on SQL ETL, something that I previously thought I was strong in.

Expert‘s verbal feedback on the spot was useful.

Thank you so much for your advice and guidance I really appreciate it!! Each time I do another mock with prepfully I get more and more confident!

For clarity on type of questions asked in interviews

Good way to be prepared for surprises

I like that I can get DE interviewers from Meta directly, which ******* does not offer. Also cheaper than *******

Thanks for your time and advice, much appreciated!  I'm glad to have taken this mock exam, I needed to know where I stand and the steps necessary to get better for technical interviews.

Good prep.    

Good practice!

Thanks, was really a helpful session Was great experience

I learnt good lessons

I learnt very good lessons

Seems likely to be useful to a candidate

Thank you for the great advice! Good to get sense and be really prepared

Thanks, ******* for your time and for sharing helpful tips. I definitely gained some much-required confidence. Thanks, ******* I was able to get a feel of the interview, I definitely feel more confident. About the relevance of the interview, I would hold my feedback until I get to the actual interview :)

Great platform for mock sessions. Helped get real-time interview mode.

It was really helpful and I learned a lot from this process and got some nice pointers to prep for my interview. I liked the overall experience. I got some nice pointers to prep for my interview.

Hi, Thank you for providing valuable suggestions and feedback. It helped me to get real-time experience

This was a great experience, it'll help me a lot. It was great.

Thanks so much for the mock interview! I found some aspects I really need to improve and I have a better understanding of the real interview questions! The mock interview is very similar to the real interview, and I found some aspects I really need to improve during the mock interview, which was really hard to realize without mock.

Was a good experience

The expert provided very accurate and helpful feedback The expert provided very accurate and helpful feedback

Thank you for the explanation at the end.

Useful session with some useful information

Thanks very much for taking the time to assess and teach me about a different approach to the data model. It’s not something I encountered at all in any other resource. My interviewer took the time to walk me through a good example solution for a data model, which changed the way I view data models.

Let me know if you think another session for tomorrow afternoon is needed in your opinion; only have python and experience for Lyft on Monday though. The expert was a very good communicator and broke down a lot of material and potential things that could come up with context to the business I was prepping for.

Interview-like atmosphere.

The interview structure was new compared to the existing process.

Helped me uncover my blind spots

Interviewers are experienced and come prepared

Thanks, ******* for your time. It was a great session today It was a great talk! The interviewer was humble and delivered a right track

******* was good, gave some advice and things to prep and worked over a mock question with me.

It was helpful to understand data modeling from the perspective of user-facing apps. Also, appreciate the idea of framing behavioral answers from a Data Engineer mindset. If you can reduce per session cost it will be helpful for new grads

Thank you for the tips. Your brief overview of each subtopic gave me guidelines to prepare. Keep up the good work! It gave me direction to prepare.

Thanks for all the help, hope I can deliver some good new soon! Professional, on time, and patient!

Thank you. I believe we had a quality discussion on the interview in all areas. I wish we also covered more about coding. However, the session helped me a lot, and if time permits, I'll schedule more sessions with you. The interviewer has good knowledge of the interview patterns and also of what actual interviewers would look into. He asked relevant questions and also provided tips to improve my weak areas. The session helped me a lot and if time permits, I'll schedule more sessions with the interviewer.

Thanks for your time! Very detail and professional, provided useful information regarding the ETL and Python streaming part.

Thanks for the help and information! The interviewer is very professional and on time, helps a lot with mocking and answering my questions.

Thanks for the help, going to finish the content we discussed and prepare for the next session The expert is very patient and professional, very helpful

Addresses my concern and questions for the interview process.

GOOD

Thank you so much *******. Very useful tips and info. It's very useful for someone who really wants a job in tech.

Good

Thank you ******* for the insights. You are awesome and very helpful. He first understood which role I'm going to be interviewed for and then provide context around how to approach this specific role of interview. Then provided some real-world scenarios and examples that helped me change my perspective towards the interview and also learned new things. Thank you.

Thanks so much for your time and help *******! The session and information are really helpful! Hope I can pass this round and prepare onsite with you again!! The interviewer is really patient, knowledgeable, and experienced. Would love to work with him again if I pass the coding and prepare for the onsite!

Second session was just as helpful as the first!

The mock interview definitely helped to highlight my weak points and what I can work on ahead of my real interview. The session was a half mock interview and half guidance/instruction that was extremely useful.

Very good session. Would recommend a bit more structure.

Thank You! Honest Feedback!

It's a good starting point for me.

Real interview-like experience.

Thank you! Covered full stach topics in the interview and provided useful insights

Great interview! I appreciate his honesty and direct feedback. I could tell he had a lot of experience with large data systems. It felt like a real interview, gave me enough room to fail in order to realize my mistakes and teach me from them, which I appreciate. Good prices experienced interviewers and relevant questions with super useful feedback.

My interviewer was awesome and really went above and beyond for me. He really grilled me and gave me a roadmap on how to answer these questions while overcoming roadblocks. Highly recommend him. There are no good resources on the internet for Data engineering interviews or general best practices. These interviews have taught me so much about data engineering I could have only gotten through here.

Thanks for the mock -got to know the weak areas where I need more preparation. The session is super helpful to get a sense of what it is like in a real interview.

Thank you for the last session. It gave me a glimpse of what to expect and how to answer certain questions. Expert advice takes away most of the anticipation and helps builds confidence.

Thank you! It was very helpful in seeing gaps in my knowledge. Really appreciate it. Really good breakdown of problems and insight!

It was nice talking to the expert. Great experience simulating the real interview.

Thanks - I feel much more prepared now for the technical interviews. The interviewer identified key areas for me to practice, and provided very good feedback on how to improve.

Thanks! Got very targeted feedback on the difference between my responses and the interviewer's expectation.

All good.

Good understanding of the interview process.

Thanks for helpful info. Gave me very good idea on what exactly Facebook is expecting from me in the interview. Definitely helped me to move my preparation in a right direction.

Thank you for providing valuable feedback and providing more details about the actual interview process and how I can prepare well for the actual interview. Probably if you can provide a coderpad or some other shared document for both interviewer and interviewee, that would be really helpful.

Thank you so much for all the detailed and useful advice. It means a lot to me that you provided me feedback every step of the way. Can't have asked for anything better than this. This session was very instrumental in pacing my efforts in the right direction. It helps you in getting ready

Thank you, all the tips were helpful! Really appreciate you doing this! Very good service!
