      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      Jan 22, 2026
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Budapest
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cloudera (Budapest) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      4 rounds. From the get to they told me that with my experience (7 years) I don’t seem to be on staff level, but let’s see and we can always level down to Senior with this position. It already left a bad taste in my mouth and then they made sure to let me know that the salary (low/average senior) I’m asking for is not really viable, either. The HR person’s attitude was rude in some ways, not asking to add availability, rather telling me to with an hour deadline. They also didn’t take the time to give information about the compensation package at the screening interview even after me asking. After setting an interview for the last round, I got a call that they don’t do senior level for this role anymore so we have to separate ways and delete the interview event. It seemed a bit unprofessional, humiliating and a total waste of time.

      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 9, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Bengaluru
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudera (Bengaluru) in Oct 2024

      Interview

      It could not get any worse. I received a call from Clouder HR for a telephonic interview. The HR was on leave and nobody notified me regarding the rescheduling the interview. I called up HR and the response was "I am on leave but can take this call for 5 minutes which included introduction and technologies and projects I worked on. I was told I will receive a mail to schedule another call with technical panel (which I never did) and later I get an email mentioning I am no longer considered for this position". The experience left me frustrated without any genuine reason and having me doubt my own abilities since I was never rejected in introductory call. I would recommend not to apply for any position at Cloudera. Their HR are egoistic and not at all professional.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Not Applicable, since the HR and tech panel were out of sync.

      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      Apr 26, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Bengaluru
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cloudera (Bengaluru) in Apr 2024

      Interview

      I received a call from Cloudera's HR, and the person spoke in a really insulting and condescending tone. It seems like you're so busy training your data models that you've forgotten to train your own HR staff. Cloudera HR has lot of attitude and very less knowledge about industry interview process. It shows about company and its culture. Seems like a red flag.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The HR representative was insulting and irritated when I asked questions about the interview process. Why work in HR if you can't even answer questions about the role or the interview process. First time in life i lost my cool . Pathetic experience with HR.
