I applied online. I interviewed at HCLTech (Bengaluru) in Jul 2024
Interview
The interview process at HCLTech for an Azure Data Engineer position (with 5-7 years of experience) consists of two rounds:
Round 1: You can expect questions on SQL, Python, and Spark internals, with difficulty ranging from easy to medium.
Round 2: This round will focus on your project experience, particularly questions related to building end-to-end data platforms.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at HCLTech
Interview
The interview terrible. The interviewer was not prepared and started reading CV in front of me. The vibe was very "I know it all and I can prove that you don't".
Attended Hackathon. given batch, stream pipeline scenario to develop in GCP platform and should find out metrics out of data within 5-6 hours. later based on the results. on the same day, client interview happens.
