      Solutions Architect Interview

      30 Mar 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudera

      Interview

      This is one of the most informative and organized interviewing processed I have been through. The interview process consisted of one HR screening, two technical phone interviews, and one half a day in-person office visit with the director, hiring manager, and two technical engineers. Everyone was very friendly and excited to be part of this growing company. From my discussions with the interviewers, the company appeared to have great work culture and is doing some pretty cool things. Due to my restricted schedule, the process took about 5 weeks.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Be prepared to demonstrate your skill set in a programing language (JAVA, Python, etc), Unix/Linux, Networking, Databases, and SQL. The questions were straight forward but can vary. Expect to write a general program/method.
