      Senior Big Data Scientist Interview

      Sep 22, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Baltimore, MD
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Genpact (Baltimore, MD) in Aug 2014

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter for this position. Following a couple of interviews with that recruiter in which I described my skill-set and the limitations of my skill-set in great honest detail, my resume was passed on to an internal HR person. HR ran a behavioral interview with me and then my application was forwarded to two of the three panel members who would make the final hiring decision. The two panel members questioned me about my background in separate 45 minute phone screens the same day. I stressed that I did not know enterprise big data technology -- I have no experience with Hadoop and my background is in distributed computing for science HPC applications in academia. Following those phone screens, I was invited to a final round in-person interview with those same two interviewers and one additional interviewer. In the final round interview, I was asked questions that I had repeatedly stated I would not be able to answer. Questions about Hadoop and data storage solutions I had never claimed to know anything about. I was disappointed to learn that despite being very explicit about my past experience, many of the properties that I mentioned were nevertheless truly requirements for the job. I could not have been clearer about my background. Genpact wasted my time, but I'm happy to say they wasted their own as well, and should seriously consider reworking their hiring process.
