The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Informatica (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2018
Interview
This is the Toronto office. The process is a good 45 minute screening that gauge your appropriateness. It's followed by an onsite screening with several engineers; each takes you for a good 45 minutes to drill onto whatever the like.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Kafka questions: What is the Group Id and what is its significance. Data structure questions: maps, JDBC and how does your app know what driver to upload, REST and how does a client of REST know how to interact with your API.
The questions seemed too silly to too drilling to the point it doesn't make sense anymore. They really have the intention and to make you feel poor and superficial knowledge-wise. I felt so bad I actually turned down the third interview - something I never did before. It was no more than showing off their muscles by putting you down. The standards they are using are superficial IMO. For example, describe the map data structure. Done? How are the keys stored. Done? How are they hashed. Done? What if there is a collision. Done? What's another way to deal with a collision. Done? What's another way. Done? What's another way!!!! Too silly you just want to leave and break away out of their office.
There are two rounds of technical interviews, one round of managerial interview and one round of HR interview. In first technical round it will be basic java questions, coding, unix and rdbms questions. Second technical round would be case study, real time scenarios and difficult coding questions.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Informatica (Bengaluru) in Apr 2023
Interview
Quiet exhausting and not worth it. It was 8 rounds of interview. Where in 5 were technical. 1 techno managerial 1 with director and 1 with HR. No interview was started on time. There were so many last moment changes on timings. Most interview are stretched 30-30 min even more than the allocated hours.
The whole process took 1 month. After releasing the offer letter break up. They called after 2 days that the required is freeze.
Not recommended. It’s unreliable. Thank god I didn’t drop papers at my current organization after receiving offer letter.
