I had received a call from the recruiter to go over my back ground. We had discussed my experience and technical aptitude. The recruiter was comfortable with my skill level and wanted pass me onto the hiring manager. Secon interview was with the hiring manager and we spoke for at least an hour going over my background, talking about solutions and use cases for big data. I had a great conversation. The hiring manager and I both felt comfortable. The next step was to meet the rest of the team. In order to meet with the team I had to travel to San Francisco. The Recruiting Coordinator did a great job in setting up my travel arrangements (booking my flight, setting the schedule, and constantly in communication). Recruiting Coordinator pays attention to the little things (i.e. goodie bag) which goes a long way. I met with the Vice President and discussed the opportunity and went through my background and skill set. I enjoyed our conversation and felt comfortable to ask any questions. I also met with three colleagues to have a technical conversation around the product. The conversations were not so much question and answer but more having a conversation around use cases in a technical manner. I left the interview feeling confident and comfortable working for Cloudera. No one was trying to ask difficult questions we were having a great conversation and that s what I enjoyed about the process.

The interview started with Google hangout with the hiring manager, followed by two phone interviews with AE and senior Sales Engineer. Then I was invited onsite for interview with three sessions including a presentation to the panel. Last, I has phone interviews with Director of Sales and Sales Engineering.
