I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudera (Palo Alto, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
I had a couple of phone interviews which went reasonably well but I was never called onsite. When I followed up I got the standard reply of "Thank you for your patience and we will let you know". My interview experience could be a one off because of incompetent recruiters though, because the interviewers were quite courteous, but maybe one of them forgot to enter the feedback on time.
It's a shame, because it seems like a great company to work for (apart from their unprofessional recruiting team) and the interview went quite well. And even if it didn't go well, it wouldn't hurt to inform the candidate about the result - doesn't reflect very well on their recruiting team's culture!!
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cloudera (Manipal) in Sep 2025
Interview
It had 3 rounds. 2 technical and 1 managerial/technical. Both the technical rounds includes a DSA question each. First round they asked me solve the DSA question followed by the question I could solve in the OT.
Since my entire resume was ML based, all the rounds focused on ml fundamentals.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Cloudera
Interview
three total rounds: Technical screen --> phone screen --> final round onsite; leetcode style questions and standard behavioral questions. Fast process and technical questions are framed with relevance to the work being done. Everyone was very friendly and helpful
