Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 4 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Cloudera (Budapeste) em fev. de 2020
Entrevista
I've applied to Cloudera after a recruiter at the company reached out to me. The interview consisted of multiple stages:
- Phone screening with the recruiter who has contacted me (quick introduction of my career, open positions that might be interesting to me, salary expectations)
- Online test via hackerrank (I had to complete 3 tasks with increasing difficulty in an hour, I could freely choose the language I used to complete the tests, I've chosen pyhton)
- Two rounds of on-site interviews. The first round was with two members of the team and included programming and technical questions. The second round was with my manager and a team member, with further technical questions with greater difficulty (as they have phrased it, they were trying to push me to my limits), then some discussions about the company and my future position with my manager.
I've applied to a position related to kubernetes and infrastrucure, so the technical questions were mainly based around basic programming skills, linux, docker, kubernetes and computer networks. I can't remember all of the questions they have asked, I've added the ones I can recall.
Perguntas de entrevista [3]
Pergunta 1
Imagine a two person game. There are coins of different value placed on a table in a row, like this
20, 5, 10, 50, 10, 5
The players take turns and in each turn, the player can pick up one coin from either end of the row. The game is played until every coin is picked up by a player. The player with the most money wins.
Write an algorithm for the game in python that can calculate the sum of money it has at the end of the game, given that it plays with an optimal strategy.
Questions related to python:
- Explain decorators
- What are the keywords in python that can modify a variable's visibility
- What is a fixture in pytest
Questions related to docker and kubernetes (there were a lot of questions I can't remember):
- You are given a linux command prompt. How can you determine if you are inside a container?
- Explain layers
- You are trying to stop a running container and after issuing the command, the container only stops with a significant delay (~30s). What could be the problem?
- Explain the inner workings of kubernetes services

They informed me that the role I was interviewing for had changed. They did not attempt to understand if I was still interested in the new role. Most of the questions they asked me were about the number of years I worked with a given technology with no follow up questions for context. They also tried pitching that I take a much lower salary than my asking range based on where I live for a remote role, as if it weren't feasible despite my most recent remote salary being in my asking range. I declined the next round of interviews when offered.

Interview had several coding rounds with standard coding tasks. The surprising part was that each round had only 1 interviewer, but usually according to my experience it is at least 2 people to avoid the bias. The communication with the recruiter was fast and professional.
