Contacted by recruiter. He had a long one-way sales pitch, explained that the product wasn't quite used in production and didn't have clients yet. Another recruiter/coordinator reached out for scheduling interviews.
I brought up to the manager about not having any production users as a concern and he denied that was true and that the recruiter had bad info. Never heard back from the recruiters and was ghosted. Very unprofessional interview process as a whole, probably due to being so poorly coordinated. Glad I didn't drive out there for that, my advice is to avoid investing time with interviews at this company as they are a combination of disorganized and very untransparent.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cloudera (Austin, TX)
Interview
They informed me that the role I was interviewing for had changed. They did not attempt to understand if I was still interested in the new role. Most of the questions they asked me were about the number of years I worked with a given technology with no follow up questions for context. They also tried pitching that I take a much lower salary than my asking range based on where I live for a remote role, as if it weren't feasible despite my most recent remote salary being in my asking range. I declined the next round of interviews when offered.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cloudera (Budapest) in Jan 2024
Interview
I had 4 interviews alltogether. An HR, an online coding and technical assesmwnt, a system design and one menegerial. Technical interviews was held in english. Interviewers were nice and helpful.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cloudera (Budapest)
Interview
Interview had several coding rounds with standard coding tasks. The surprising part was that each round had only 1 interviewer, but usually according to my experience it is at least 2 people to avoid the bias. The communication with the recruiter was fast and professional.
