Reviews

When you're interviewing for an SSIS-heavy role, you're not just being tested on your ability to configure data flows—you’re being evaluated on how you handle edge cases, prevent data loss, and streamline operations in high-stakes environments. These questions are built around the kinds of workflow, integration, and transformation logic that surface during real SSIS interviews. You’ll explore practical questions that deal with malformed input data, broken joins, dependency failures, and slow transformations. You'll encounter exercises that push you to think about data lineage, error handling frameworks, and deployment planning from the perspective of someone responsible for production ETL health. These scenarios are drawn from interview patterns used by teams hiring SSIS developers, data platform engineers, and BI professionals. They're designed to build judgment, not just technical fluency.
