Had two interviews one with a manager and the other with a director. On the 2nd interview, the director seemed having no technical knowledge and after 10 minutes of a very casual conversation said "I have what I need, do you have any questions?" such immature behavior is not expected from a director at this level. It seemed rude and disrespectful and I knew at the time I won't like working with this kind of team.

The overall interview experience is bad. The process had 7 rounds in a span of 1.5 months. I've listed down the experience per session. - HR Round: Basic HR questions but focussed more on salary expectations. I proposed a 30% standard hike and HR agreed. - Managerial Round: Googled Managerial round questions and some grilling on experiences. Same salary expectations. ***** at this point, the salary was discussed twice ***** - Technical Round 1: Take home questions. 15 hands-on questions. If you know spark and databricks, you'll be able to crack it easily. - Technical Round 2: A round with Lead Engineer to grill you more on the take home questions. Optimization questions. Case study and scenario based questions. - Architect Round : Scenario based question. Business and Environment understanding and compatibility. Communication. daily Situational issues. - Presentation Round: Business problem with data. 1 week to present the findings using a ppt. ***** Now if you clear all the rounds, they will ask for references from your previous organizations ***** - Compensation Negotiation: Great part, right? NO... they offer peanuts... an 8% hike.... disappointing after almost 2 months... wastage of time... and then a lot of follow-ups and lies..
