1) HR call and screening 2) Manager + technical 3) technical 4) All above 3 steps are telephonic, now it is on-site pure technical 5) HR Hr will call and do the initial screening. After that it will be telephonic round , followed by another technical , followed by another on-site technical , then meeting with senior manager. If you ask for a update after the interview like after 2 days via mail hr will respond immediate. Good work by hr Overall good.........

This is the best and toughest interview i ever attended. I had around 4 rounds- 3 pure technical(unix+hadoop), last round- hadoop+HR. Process took around 2 weeks and it started with a HR mail with few questions on our experience, role and why hortonworks. They were in search of a unix admin who are willing to learn hadoop. So they were firing questions on issues and debugging in unix. I would say this is tuff. Coming to hadoop, believe me they are experts. They asked everything in detailed and very patient enough to let me explain everything i knew. And if my answers were wrong they explained me what is correct. Pretty good right.

The Interview process was very quick and they are very Responsive. A Gentleman from HR team called me and asked my experience and other details and then a 30 mins screening with Senior Hr Recruiter and then two rounds of Technical Phone Interview and then an Onsite Interview with Four members, Senior Director, Sr Engineer, Technical Lead and Tech Support manager. All of them made me feel very comfortable and questions were crisp and Technical. I got my Interview feedback within two hours which is Super Awesome (very rare with other companies) I'm really impressed with their swift response. Special thanks to Senior HR who is very prompt in answering my questions and calls.
