    Hi, I've an interview coming up for a junior dev role in a company that makes Business Intelligence software, It's an area I'm interested in but it's my first interview with this kind of company and I was wondering does anyone on here know what kind of questions they might ask me? Technologies used are C#, MS SQL, HTML5, XML, Web Services, JASON, Lucene.. should I just brush up on these??
    Thanks!

    JASON -> JSON. Brushing up on technologies won't do you any harm.

    I'm contracting with a company which has a BI department. I think they use SQL fairly heavily. MS SQL Server in particular. So things like stored procedures, t-sql etc.

    Ask questions about the data. Where it comes from, how it is scrubbed and the timeliness of it.

    If they have proprietary software know how it works would be my two cents.

    Read up a little on OLAP and prepare to talk about it.

    OLAP is definitely good to look in to. If they're a MS shop they'll probably use SQL Server Analysis Services.

    Also worth doing some research on ETL, and being at least a little familiar with SQL Server Integration Services.

    Probably worth doing some reading about data visualisation as well.
