Process
I applied in February 2021 and received a call in April 2021 from two separate HR representatives simultaneously, asking me to complete a HackerRank quiz by end of day. I was called twice in a single day, hounding me to complete the quiz.
The audacity was laudable for the same HRs when they stopped receiving calls. I had sent two follow-up emails, but no prize for guessing – unresponsive.
Questions
Hackerrank quiz on the basics of each component of the Hadoop ecosystem.
Overly complicated simple questions used unnecessary cryptic language.
The presentation of the questions was pathetic. No effort was made in formatting the code snippets or variables.
