    EY Data Engineer Interview Questions

    Below are some commonly asked questions in the EY Data Engineer interview, along with structured answers to help you prepare.

    Basic Level Questions

    Q1. What is Data Engineering?

    Answer:
    Data Engineering involves designing, developing, and managing data pipelines that enable efficient storage, processing, and analysis of large datasets. It includes:

    • Extracting data from various sources.
    • Transforming and cleaning data for analysis.
    • Loading data into databases or data warehouses (ETL).
    • Working with big data technologies and cloud platforms.

    Q2. Explain the difference between OLTP and OLAP databases.

    Answer:

    Feature OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) OLAP (Online Analytical Processing)
    Purpose Transactional Processing Analytical Queries
    Operations Insert, Update, Delete Read-heavy, Aggregation
    Data Size Small, frequent transactions Large historical data
    Examples MySQL, PostgreSQL Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery

    Q3. How does a Data Warehouse differ from a Data Lake?

    Answer:

    Feature Data Warehouse Data Lake
    Structure Highly structured, schema-on-write Stores raw data, schema-on-read
    Data Type Processed, aggregated data Raw, semi-structured, and unstructured data
    Use Case Business Intelligence, reporting Machine learning, real-time analytics
    Examples Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, Google BigQuery AWS S3, Azure Data Lake, Google Cloud Storage

    Intermediate Level Questions

    Q4. Can you explain ETL vs. ELT and when to use each?

    Answer:

    • ETL (Extract, Transform, Load): Data is transformed before being loaded into the data warehouse. Ideal for structured environments with strict schema requirements.
    • ELT (Extract, Load, Transform): Data is first loaded raw into storage and transformed later. Used in cloud-based architectures where scalability is key.

    Example:

    • ETL: Traditional BI tools like Informatica, Talend.
    • ELT: Modern cloud-based platforms like Snowflake, BigQuery.

    Q5. What techniques can optimize SQL query performance?

    Answer:
    To enhance SQL performance, follow these best practices:

    • Use Indexing to speed up searches and joins.
    • **Avoid SELECT *** and fetch only the required columns.
    • Normalize or partition tables for better storage and retrieval.
    • Use caching mechanisms for frequently queried data.
    • Optimize JOIN operations by selecting appropriate join strategies.

    Example of using an Index:

    sql
    CREATE INDEX idx_customer_id ON orders(customer_id);

    Q6. How does Apache Spark differ from Hadoop MapReduce?

    Answer:

    Feature Apache Spark Hadoop MapReduce
    Processing Speed Faster (in-memory processing) Slower (disk-based)
    API Support Supports Java, Scala, Python, R Java-based
    Use Case Real-time and batch processing Primarily batch processing
    Ease of Use Simple, high-level APIs Requires complex coding

    Example of PySpark DataFrame operation:

    python
    from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
    spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("Example").getOrCreate()
    df = spark.read.csv("data.csv", header=True, inferSchema=True)
    df.show()

    Advanced Level Questions

    Q7. How would you design a scalable data pipeline for real-time analytics?

    Answer:
    A real-time data pipeline can be built using:

    • Apache Kafka for ingesting real-time streaming data.
    • Apache Spark Streaming or Apache Flink for processing data.
    • NoSQL databases like MongoDB or Cassandra for fast data storage.
    • Cloud data lakes (AWS S3, Azure Data Lake) for storing historical data.

    Example architecture:
    Kafka → Spark Streaming → Data Warehouse → BI Tool (Tableau, Power BI)

    Q8. How do Snowflake, Redshift, and BigQuery compare?

    Answer:

    Feature Snowflake Redshift BigQuery
    Scaling Automatic scaling Manual resizing Fully managed
    Pricing Model Pay-as-you-use Fixed cluster pricing Pay-per-query
    Performance Elastic and fast Good for AWS ecosystem Best for ad-hoc queries

    If working in an AWS ecosystem, Redshift may be preferable. For highly dynamic workloads, Snowflake is a strong choice.

    Q9. What is Data Partitioning, and why is it useful?

    Answer:
    Partitioning splits large datasets into smaller, manageable chunks to improve query performance and storage efficiency.

    • Horizontal Partitioning: Dividing a table by rows (e.g., partition by date).
    • Vertical Partitioning: Splitting columns into separate tables.
    • Sharding: Distributing data across multiple servers to handle high traffic loads.

    Example of SQL partitioning:

    sql
    CREATE TABLE sales (
    id INT,
    sale_date DATE

    ) PARTITION BY RANGE(sale_date);

    Q10. How do you ensure data quality in ETL pipelines?

    Answer:
    To maintain data integrity and accuracy, implement:

    • Automated validation checks to detect missing or inconsistent data.
    • Schema evolution to handle changing data structures.
    • Data deduplication techniques to remove duplicate records.
    • Logging and monitoring for real-time pipeline health tracking.

    Example of a Python data quality check:

    python
    import pandas as pd
    df = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
    print("Missing values:\n", df.isnull().sum())

    Tips & Best Practices for Data Engineer Interviews at EY

    1. Master SQL and Data Modeling

    • Practice complex SQL queries involving Joins, Window Functions, and Indexing.
    • Understand data normalization and denormalization techniques.

    2. Gain Hands-on Experience with ETL Tools

    • Work on data ingestion pipelines using Apache Airflow, Talend, or AWS Glue.
    • Understand incremental vs. full ETL loads.

    3. Learn Big Data Technologies

    • Gain experience in Hadoop, Spark, and Kafka for distributed data processing.
    • Explore PySpark and SparkSQL for big data transformations.

    4. Get Familiar with Cloud Platforms

    • Learn AWS (S3, Redshift, Lambda), Azure (Data Factory, Synapse Analytics), or Google Cloud (BigQuery, DataFlow).

    5. Prepare for Behavioral & Scenario-Based Questions

    • Example: “Describe a time when you handled data inconsistencies in a pipeline.”
    • Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure responses.

    Conclusion

    Preparing for an EY Data Engineer interview requires expertise in SQL, ETL workflows, big data frameworks, and cloud technologies. By practicing real-world data scenarios, optimizing SQL queries, and understanding data pipeline architectures, you can increase your chances of success.
