First, the HDP building is quite a dungeon itself. Terrible work atmosphere . Dark, poor lighting and small cubicles like IT BPOs are the highlights. I already have worked for 2+ years in bigdata domain and had in total of 6+ yrs exp. The first round was about one shell problem (related to finding jar files and replacing a pattern) and one python problem regarding reconstructing a file content from a given map inputs. Then there were questions on yarn architecture. During the interview i did felt that the interviewer was more interested in showing his knowledge of hadoop/yarn rather than evaluating me. The second round was by a person who was evaluating me on UI automation and selenium architecture. He asked me to write test cases on a typical ecommerce website that involved different tabs and pages. I made certain assumptions and proceeded with test cases. During the discussions i was questioned why I made certain assumptions and that why I didn't discuss with the interviewer before making this assumption. The third round was by an interviewer who tested me with algorithms and data structures. To my surprise I was not provided with eclipse IDE. The interviewer haphazardly opened intelliJ and tried to setup a project wherein I could code. Alas, he couldn't do that also ! Finally I had to write java program in a vi editor , compile , run and debug. That was the most embarrassing moment during the interview that I felt. I was running short on time and had to catch the flight so my interview terminated early. The HR told me that he would contact me in few days . I didn't bother at all for his call. After few days I received an email that I have been rejected. Good riddance ! After that , I did prepare well and finally landed up in an MNC with a very lucrative offer which HDP could provide me in like say 4-5 years from now, that too if I am good in internal politics. My interview experience was terrible and I am very glad that I did not land up here. But I could really feel that the place is not at all conducive for disciplined people or people looking to enter a new domain or learn something new. Clearly stay away from HDP if you wish to learn something new even though you are fast learner.
