I was disappointed not to be contacted for a second interview, especially since I was told I would advance to the next round. It would have been nice to at least get an email, but being ghosted felt wrong. My time is valuable too.

It was a really smooth and professional interview process. There were 3 interviews in total. They extended an offer and then set up meetings with another hiring manager and a peer. This was to help me get a feel for the company culture and see if the role would be a good fit for me.

Behavioral Presentation Technical
I applied online and about a week later, they asked me for a YouTube resume. After submitting that, I heard back from a recruiter who did a phone screen with me. On the very same day, the hiring manager called me for an onsite interview. The onsite interview was quite challenging. Cloudera expects sales candidates to be sharp, quick thinkers, and able to concisely explain their technology's use case and definition. This is especially hard for abstract products like Impala! They really value your background (like coming from a top-tier school with a high GPA), and you'll notice it's a very competitive place to work.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you tell me about a weakness that people often perceive you have, but you disagree with?
