Cloud Database Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
The interview process consisted of five rounds:
- Phone Screening - Recruiter
- Technical Round 1 - Team member
- Technical Round 2 - Team Lead
- Hiring Manager Round
- HR discussion
I received a call from the recruiter and was asked questions about my resume, salary expectations, and was explained the process.
Two technical rounds were scheduled on the same day. The first round was full of technical questions on database fundamentals. The second technical round featured scenario-based questions. Both technical rounds are mandatory. If the technical rounds went well, the Hiring Manager Round would be scheduled, which was a mix of technical and scenario-based questions.
You will receive a callback from HR within a week regarding offer discussion. The whole process took around a month.
The recruiter was very good at explaining the interview process and kept me updated after each round. The recruiter was professional and always available to provide updates.
