Motivation

What they're looking for

The interviewer wants to know whether you chose Notion for real reasons, and how your skills and interests fit. They listen for knowledge of the product, why the work is interesting, and why a data engineer would enjoy it. Honest, specific reasons are better than praise.

What works

Talk about how you use the product or a similar tool, with one specific thing you like.
Explain what data problems you think a product like this has, such as many kinds of content and sharing.
Link your skills, like building reliable pipelines, to what the team needs.
Keep to facts you know are public, and say what you want to learn.

What hurts

Only praising the product with no detail.
Saying you want a startup feel with no other reason.
Talking about your needs only and not what you bring.

Sample answer

Think of your own story first, then compare.
