I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudera
Interview
It started with a lunch with two Engineering Managers from Cloudera, they talked about the different positions and the products. After that I got a Hackerranker test (60min) consisted 3 problems to solve using a programming language of your choice.
I had almost a week to solve the test, then I was invited to 3 onsite technical rounds (I did all in one day) each of them focused a specific area in software engineering. The last round was a coffee with two Engineering Managers, they asked me about my previous roles; mostly soft skill related questions were asked.
Although the feedback loop was always fast, the whole process can take a month. All the interviewers and recruiters were professional and nice.
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cloudera (Manipal) in Sept 2025
Interview
It had 3 rounds. 2 technical and 1 managerial/technical. Both the technical rounds includes a DSA question each. First round they asked me solve the DSA question followed by the question I could solve in the OT.
Since my entire resume was ML based, all the rounds focused on ml fundamentals.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cloudera
Interview
three total rounds: Technical screen --> phone screen --> final round onsite; leetcode style questions and standard behavioral questions. Fast process and technical questions are framed with relevance to the work being done. Everyone was very friendly and helpful
