I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Teradata (San Diego, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
over the phone with screen share and coding. Then in person interview with 1 person and conference call with 2 other engineers. The most technical questions came from the initial phone interview and the other 2 engineers mostly talked about the resume and personal projects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
write an algorithm to determine if an integer given is prime, write an efficient and inefficient implementation of the algorithm.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Teradata (San Diego, CA)
Interview
First phone interview with Recruiter, then phone interview with hiring manager and then onsite. For onsite, they called me at 10:30 am. The onsite consisted of 4 interviews. They asked me SQL questions and coding questions. I told them that my background is in Java. They were asking me to code in Python which I didn’t use it since 3 years. The engineers were pretty weird. They didn’t know what to ask. Looked like they were taking interview for the first time. I personally emailed thank you email to the hiring manager, but he didn’t had a courtesy to send a reject email to me. I got an automated email from teradata after spending so much time I expected an email from recruiter with feedback. Anyway, I didn’t really like the SIT team. Don’t waste your time here.

In teradata mainly they ask you questions about your previous full time skill set. Questions are very easy if you have already worked on it. The interviewers over there have specialization in Teradata hence you can expect a moderate level complexity.
