I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hortonworks in Mar 2015
Interview
I had three rounds of interview. First was screening with HR followed by two technical rounds by senior managers and directors. I found all of them extremely friendly and helpful. It was more of a conversation rather than they asking specifics. Lot of questions on open source technologies and Hadoop ecosystem.
