I was contacted by two different recruiters from Cloudera. I was presented with two different job roles and we agreed on the one to proceed with, which seemed more relevant. I had an initial phone interview focused on coding. After that, I went for an onsite interview a week and a half later. In total, I had five interviews, including one with the Hiring Manager (which included lunch).

I found the engineers to be very helpful and engaging during the interviews, except for one interviewer. He was on his phone when we met and continued to use it while I was whiteboarding. Otherwise, he was good, and everyone else was very good and nice. In one of the interviews, I could not answer some theoretical questions, but the interviewer was very polite and moved on to the next question.

They seemed to love working there and were excited about the work and the new office. Overall, the interview process is pretty standard. However, their feedback takes a long time, which might not work for someone with strict deadlines.

I have received positive feedback, but there has not been any decision yet, as they are interviewing more candidates. I am also interviewing, so this works for me as of now.

Similar to what is mentioned by other candidates. Do study data structures, algorithms, threads, object-oriented concepts, and design patterns.
