      Senior Developer (Big Data) Interview

      14 Mar 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Experian (London, England) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      1st stage: phone interview, very approachable manager 2nd stage: face 2 face with manager, hr, and 2 architect/developers (they appeared quite junior lacking communication skills in understanding simple big data concepts) 3rd stage: case study is like talking to a first grade class of noobs, also met up wth the head of engineering Basically, the job description is of a senior developer but the interviewers have no clue about the big data technologies nor of machine learning. Just don't mention approaches from machine learning even when they ask you have you done any machine learning, as it goes over their head. It was a wasted time, feedback in 2nd stage was completely counter to 3rd stage. The role was for a senior developer but was being interviewed by noobs. They might even give you a take home test. But that test is like someone just wants to see that you can code. Is this really a role for a senior developer (??) It is a racist company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      2nd stage was a matching and linkage case study, was very clear that the interviewers had no clue about big data or how to apply it. In fact, they weren't even clued up on NLP approaches or simple string matching. 3rd stage was a slither game whiteboard - was like talking to 4 noobs that had just come out of uni
