      Big Data Engineer Interview

      11 Apr 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mumbai
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Fractal (Mumbai) in Apr 2019

      Interview

      There wasn't any response after the online test for a very long period. Before any interview takes place, they sent me a link to feel in about the interview experience (which I didn't fill in for obvious reasons). Then suddenly a person calls me saying I have cleared the online test, as I was on my commute back to the house from the office I asked to call back later. And the same thing happens again, the person ghosted.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The online test had three coding and one SQL question. Coding questions were more stringent than SQL, that came as a surprise to me as the position was for "Big Data Engineer." Feels like they hire anyone without any skill match to the job position or based on the "coolness" of the resume factor.
