Hotstar Interview Questions

After giving most of the correct answer in 2 interviews getting not selected without any feedback make me believe that interview selection at Hotstar is a purely random process or a lottery system.

Around 6 rounds including HR. Recruiter reached out on phone and scheduled the interviews. The whole process was very well organized. The recruiter was professional and did schedule interviews based on your availability. The interviewers were polite, helpful and asked good questions except one round where I was asked bookish sql syntax based questions. But all in all the interviews were good discussions. For some reason they kept the salary discussion till after the interviews were over. Got an offer which was nowhere close to my expectations (~15% increase on in-hand salary! ) . Could've asked salary expectations upfront and avoided wasting my time and the interviewers' time as well. Will advise candidates to clarify on the salary part before the interviews to save everyone's time and effort.

The process started with initial coding round. Followed by three technical rounds - LLD, HLD, and Bar raiser round. All rounds were highly interactive and informative. It was a great experience overall without any hassles in Video conferencing mode of interview.

You may have to attend 5 to 6 round for PE position here in Hotstar. 1. Screening Round : Its just a discussion to give you the overview on position, team etc and just need to know about you and your recent work. 2. Coding Round - focused on coding 3. LLD Focused on LLD 4. HLD Focused on LLD 5. Bar Raiser Not Attempted. All round of Hotstar are quite focused as explained above.

Overall Interview process was positive. Really appreciate the HR Team for timely reminders & follow up over the email. For me,the process took me almost 2 months due to internal restructuring within Hotstar. First Round : Telephonic Round with HR ( 15-20 Min) Second Round : Technical Round ( SQL,Python ) by Business Analyst in Hotstar ( 1 Hr ) Third Round : Case Study Round by Analytics Manager ( 1 Hr 30 Min ) Fourth Round : Cultural Fit,Case Study- Head of Analytics ( 1 Hr ) Fifth Round : Discussion with Vice President of Analytics ( 30 Min ) Sixth Round : Final Offer Discussion with HR

This pattern of the interview process was as follows: 1 screening algo round 1 virtual onsite algo round 1 virtual onsite design round 1 virtual onsite tech round In the algo round he asked 2 problems. For the first problem he was expecting a very byhearted solution to be provided.

The process had 4-5 rounds of interview. 1st is for screening which will test your basic Thinking and DS-Algo skills 2nd round will be more specific to your platform, for me it was iOS specific. Make sure you have a very good grasp on core topics, the interviewer will try to twist the problem and will talk about those. You should have knowledge of why things work and how they work. 3rd round was for DS Algo and will have 2-3 questions from Array, trees, and DP 4th round was around architectural knowledge and system design.

Great process and seamless process ...

There were a total of 5 rounds of technical interview in my case. I was being hired for the Customer Experience team). Round 1 - Screening round (Promises, ES6 classes & inheritance, composition) ~1hr. Round 2 - PS/DS (Modified binary search problem with working solution & edge cases) ~1hr. Round 3 - UI Tech (Anti-patterns, Promises, Polyfills) was finished in <45 min. Round 4 - System Design (Task was to design Google Sheets. I had to drop off after ~55 min but the interviewer had some more questions and thereby had to go through another round of System design interview with another interviewer). Round 5 - System Design (Something related to hotstar.com landing page) ~1hr. All the interviewers were nice but the recruiter spoiled the entire experience for me. I had to follow up after each interview to get the feedback & getting the next round scheduled. It's been 4 days (including weekend), I'm awaiting the feedback for the last tech round. The process is not over yet & recruiter has already sent me a mail to share the feedback for the interview process. The interview process started a month ago and only god knows when it would get over (I've already got 2 offers since then).

Overall, good experience. Recruiter, interview panel and the consultant involved were prompt and responsive even during the late hours or weekends. Clarity was there from the beginning of the process and I was really impressed on how serenely they do their business.
