I applied for a software engineer position online. It was a typical tech company interview process. I had an online coding interview with a Cloudera engineer. A couple of days later, they emailed me to say they would like to bring me in for an onsite interview.

There were 4-5 interview sessions for the onsite interview. Most of the interviewers were quite friendly. Nonetheless, only one of them was working for the team I was applying for. That was probably the reason the interviewers showed little interest in my background. A majority of the questions asked were either irrelevant to the job or quite unusual. If I am not mistaken, there was no interview training at Cloudera on how to communicate with interview candidates.

Overall, the whole interview logistics were organized very well, but not so much for the technical interviews.
