I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Hortonworks (San Francisco, CA) in May 2014
Interview
Noticed my profile on Linkedin, contacted me and the 5 round interview process was initiated. 1st round was with the recruiter, which went fine. Second round was with a senior recruiter, which was also fine. After the third round everything went downhill. 3rd round was with a tech support guy, who asked me all kinds of technical and personality type questions. 4th and 5th rounds were way too technical. After 2 weeks got the replay saying I wasnt fit for the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
He gave me a scenario talking about how to fix a client's machine off site. Some ways would be checking for bugs, checking the application and internet connection(firewall etc)
Thank you for your feedback and we appreciate your candor. We apologize for the elongated interview process and that is something we are trying to tighten up. Good luck in your career and thank you again for your interest in Hortonworks!
