Entrevista
Generally a mess and a waste of time. The signs that they are disorganised were there from the start- two recruiters reached out after I sent through my application. I asked about stages in the process and never got a straight answer. After the interview with the hiring manager I was told that I would be asked to do three things: a technical interview, a code test, a presentation. Sometimes I was told they do all three before coming back to you, other times I was told that if I pass one stage I get to the next. After the interview with the hiring manager, I was asked to do a code test and a technical interview was arranged. All good. I stupidly complete the code test before the tech interview (DON'T DO THIS in general but don't do this if you're interviewing here). The technical interview did not go well for various reasons but I was very surprised I wasn't even asked about Spark. Not one question about partitions, join types etc which others had mentioned here on glassdoor. After the technical interview, I hear back that it is a no. I ask for feedback and they say that based on the interview they won't proceed. I say fine- what about feedback on my code test? THEY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT. They ask for you to return the code test within about a week which I did, and they didn't even look at the code I wrote before deciding to reject me. Even if I did so bad at the technical interview- why do things like this? I'm actually furious that they think it is ok to waste my time like this. It goes on- the recruiter (though polite overall) has the audacity to suggest that we speak again in 6 months in case a position opens up again. I understand they didn't like how I performed in the technical interview- that's fine. What could change in 6 months time truly? Either accept me and train me up or let it go. I feel like they are arrogant and don't even care that they wasted my time throughout this process- I don't know what masochistic person would put themselves through this again.

Multiple rounds of interview , take home assessment was not very tough . But panel presentation round was tough , it seems they want candidate who can wow them even though all rounds went fine .
I go the first phone call which went pretty well. Then I passed a first panel round on simple architecture. Did first round technical round, but never heard back again.
