Hotstar Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Hotstar (Bengaluru) in May 2018.

Interview

Total waste of time. They were not sure about why they are hiring. They called me for data engineering role. They don't use any data engineering related technology. None of the question they asked were related to data engineering. I would suggest to have 20-30 min telephonic discussion before going there.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Hotstar in May 2018.

Interview

It seems they do not even have good people to take the interviews. You cant just judge someone by simply asking single ds question directly from geek for geeks and then turn to ur laptop. Atleast have some process to inform interviewers how to take the interview.There is something called loud thinking that should be asked for. There is never an yes or no answer. But I guess if interviewer is not interested and just doing his pending work in the laptop during interview after keeping u awaited, its good to not proceed further with company having such talent.

Interview

Reached out to the recruiter via LinkedIn. Expressed my interest in the testing positions at Hotstar. Got my resume reviewed and the interview was scheduled within a week.

The interviewer was kind enough to know about my past and present experience. Dived deep in the key areas of my resume and then started with the interview.

Interview

They will make you wait and waste your time only to tell you at the end of an entire day that you are not a good fit. Prospective interviewees should ask what they want and their expectations clearly before attending interview so that they don’t waste your tome too. Suggest to stay away.

Interview

Very poor experience. I was called onsite but didn't actually speak with anyone face-to-face, until the end of the day. All the interviews were on Skype! Both interviews had questions which did not focus on the basics but on stuff that only a handful of people in the world implement, and still don't get it right.

In one interview, my solution was not accepted at all even though it covered all edge cases. No edge cases were provided by the interviewer. Looks like he was expecting a certain solution and did not think it fit to evaluate other solutions. I went home and checked - what I provided and coded was the textbook solution to the question.

In another interview, the interviewer lied about his credentials (re: open source contributions) and boasted knowledge of a number theory algorithm which does not even exist! Like seriously? Overall, seemed like a incredibly toxic work culture. This interview ensured I will stay away from Hotstar leadership for the rest of my career. They are as bad as they come.

Interview

I was interviewed at hotstar office. The process included a hackerearth test with some basic questions related to web tech followed by a technical interview. The interviewer seemed to be less experienced in front end and expected the answers which he thought were correct to him. Even the questions he asked had nothing to do with the product development activity. It seemed as if the questions of the interview were prepared from google.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Hotstar (Mumbai) in December 2017.

Interview

I had applied on LinkedIn, but received no response for two weeks. Being connected to the CEO on LinkedIn, had spoken to him earlier on potential opportunities, and sent in my CV via email to the POC mentioned by him. HR shuffled my email back and forth between internal teams, and I had to resupply my CV on at least 2 more applications. I had already sent in my CV on the LinkedIn applications. After numerous follow ups via phone and email, they scheduled my first interview after 3 weeks. A calendar invite was not sent to me (and possibly the Hiring Manager) and he missed the agreed committed date. Another slot was agreed on with much difficulty, during which the Hiring Manager expected me to spell out the strategy at an executable level. Despite giving him general guidelines (I am in a restrictive non-compete which will soon cease to apply, hence my application for this role), he was condescending and said that he had many other candidates from other top Dotcom companies also interviewing. This is despite the fact that I am already alum of such a top rung company, in addition to much more relevant and significant work experience. It took me another two weeks of follow up with the recruiters, and after repeated phone calls, I received a generic rejection letter. I consider using interviews to glean competitor information and an executable action plan as borderline unethical, especially if the interviewee is bound by terms of an NDA and non-compete.
