Have an interview coming up for an analyst which they mentioned will be on hackerrank. I havent used it much before but Browsing through the questions, it seems to be more ‘leetcode’ or ‘algorithm’ focused than data manipulation. Should i expect similar ones in the interview? I am not sure if interviewers would have the option to submit their own question (if its pandas based) because then they need to have the packages integreated into the platform which I am not sure is possible and also be able to feed in the solutions to cross check the candidate’s code when the execute it??

It has Pandas, but they won’t want you to use it if they are doing data structures and algorithms interviews. So, knowing that HackerRank does support Pandas still doesn’t inform you as to whether you will be able to use it in the interview. That depends more on the type of role for which you are interviewing. If you it is SWE, you are not going to be able to use Pandas. If it is data analyst, then you will probably be able to use Pandas for the interview problems. Also, they can submit their own problems.
