(by non-native English speaker)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
HR interview - very standard
why are you interested in indeed?
why are you thinking of switching jobs?
The interviewer was a non-native English speaker and very aggressive and crabby. Very rushed and unpleasant.
Written exam was stupid and boring. Not sure what they were trying to test.
On-line technical exam was confusing because they asked for solutions that no one in their right mind would do with big data. The interviewer's English was so bad that it took me a while to register what she was saying. She too was really crabby so by the second or third questions I wanted to hang up since I would not want to work with people that I encountered through the interview.
