HR called to schedule an interview with one of Cloudera engineers. While I told them that I am a java developer the interview consisted mostly of C questions. There was a programming question during my phone interview to find the power of a number in log n solution but the interviewer said it was too complicated for him to understand. The optimum solution is using bitwise operators and I don't think any person will get to the bitwise solution in the given time. I used regular java to solve it and I got it right but the interviewer didn't try to understand it. Then he carried on asking C questions about virtual functions and how they work. He is questioning my knowledge on virtual table and all. Though I answered him he didn't seem like he understood what I am saying and the explanation he gave is wrong as well. He just skipped telling me the answer saying "you have to google it". Interview was pathetic. I don't want to interview with Cloudera in the near future if this person is the one doing phone interviews.
