Interview for Big Data/Hadoop Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
First, I had a technical round, which went well, and I was able to answer all questions.
Second round was with an SA-level guy. He asked me normal, high-level questions about Spark and Hive, nothing in-depth.
Last round was with the Manager, which was related to normal work life. All answers were replied to properly. But the manager seemed very arrogant, was not having even basic netiquettes to take a call, and was rude while asking questions (if it was required to repeat).
Initially, the HR guy was in a hurry to arrange calls, but even after clearing two technical rounds, I didn't receive any further update.
There was nothing that I could not answer. Later on, I realized that this interview was just a show-off business to show to that management that they tried finding a resource outside so that they could hire their referrals.
Questions
Related to Spark and Hive, very high-level, nothing in-depth. Can easily be handled by someone working in Big Data for the last 6 months.

- 2.0Not all that it is built up to beSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaDecember 10, 2014Pros: Flexi timings, work from home, free transport, perks.Cons: Over a period of time, there has been a recurring theme of "we have hired you from big companies to take us there," but "Akamai is great because it doesn't have any 'archaic' practices like big companies." While the CDN business is growing, the company doesn't have the will to grow. Discussions on any new processes are thrown out because "we have been doing this way for x number of years." Another of the themes has been the difficult interview process. Everyone will talk about how difficult the process was and how you are the cream of the crop. Most of these people have extremely bookish knowledge about how to go about implementing technology. Most of the discussions will be without real-life experience. As another reviewer put it, if they find you to be good, they will move into rooms to avoid discussing things in front of you. The last theme has been of people more interested in pushing their agendas. This can range from: * Pushing their own product - A couple of products funded at the VC stage by the VP and CIO are being implemented, even though they are not the best tools available. * People more interested in showing themselves off - VPs and onsite counterparts will constantly snub you for giving advice on the very things you were hired for.
