Representative practice questions
These are practice questions written for this guide. They are not claimed to be questions this company has asked.
Write SQL that computes monthly subscription churn by plan, where a customer can upgrade, downgrade or cancel.
Design a pipeline that joins product usage events with subscription records to report feature adoption per plan.
How would you model subscriptions so that historical reports show the plan a customer had at the time?
How would you validate that revenue in your analytics model matches the billing system?
Tell me about a project where you had to explain a technical trade-off to a non-technical stakeholder.
Preparation overview
Prepare in three areas: technical fundamentals, data system design, and behavioural stories. Subscription businesses need correct history (plans change over time) and reconciliation with billing, so those are sensible themes to prepare; they are our suggestion, not a description of Adobe’s interviews.
Technology focus
Revise slowly changing dimensions, reconciliation and SQL: SCD Type 2, data quality checks, SQL fundamentals.
System-design focus
Practise the cloud data warehouse and reporting platform case studies.
Behavioural preparation
Prepare examples of impact you can describe honestly and of communicating clearly with stakeholders.
