      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cloudera (Austin, TX)

      Interview

      They informed me that the role I was interviewing for had changed. They did not attempt to understand if I was still interested in the new role. Most of the questions they asked me were about the number of years I worked with a given technology with no follow up questions for context. They also tried pitching that I take a much lower salary than my asking range based on where I live for a remote role, as if it weren't feasible despite my most recent remote salary being in my asking range. I declined the next round of interviews when offered.

      Question 1

      Do you have 3 years with Python?

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cloudera (Budapest)

      Interview

      Interview had several coding rounds with standard coding tasks. The surprising part was that each round had only 1 interviewer, but usually according to my experience it is at least 2 people to avoid the bias. The communication with the recruiter was fast and professional.
