I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (Irvine, CA) in May 2015
Interview
The process was straight forward. First interviewed with manager, then with a team. They were all friendly and open. The primary technical lead was not available and it seemed as though I might need to return for another interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They had asked about the benefits of using stored procedures over in-line queries.
Made it pretty far in the interview process but the panel round was humiliating. Not a group of guys I would want to work with in the end anyway. The panel felt more like fraternity brothers hazing a freshman and was downright weird
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Best Buy (Mumbai) in June 2025
Interview
Good and end to end was taken by CTO.
Concept and Logics behind big data and data science, GCP everything
3 rounds and more than team handling it was about technology and use cases in retail sector
Phone screening, zoom interview, technical and behavioral, final interview, then decision after a few weeks typically. Very smooth processes with one recruiter assigned to you the whole step of the way
