      Anonymous interview candidate

      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Xcalar (San Jose, CA) in July 2016

      Interview

      Clear and transparent, the interview process of Xcalar was awesome! Day 1 - external recruiter got in contact with me, he explained the role and a brief introduction about the company Day 3 - talent acquisition for Xcalar got in contact with me, she shared a lot of details, gave a deep understanding about the company. She shared so much love about it, and it get you really amused about the company. Day 4 - the sent an online code exercise from "HackRanck for Enterprise". The coding exercise was challenging but doable. Day 6 - talent acquisition got in touch with me charing the coding exercise feedback, she also shares a little more details about company roadmap Day 7 - single on-site coding interview, manager talk Day 14 - full on-site interview, talking with the manager, talking with vp of finance and CEO. Overall Xcalar looks very attracting, the company has a very strong VC deal, the roadmap is clear and doable, the company expect you to rock and they provide you all the supported needed. The CEO and VP of finance are very experienced, they have a track of success. The managers are hand-on, and the team looks laser focused!

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Xcalar in July 2020

      Interview

      Interview process took around one week. I spoke with three people in total. Second interviewer just was not interested to listen me, just waited till I will finish introduction and giving no time to ask any questions he just jumped into coding challenge. He was not interesting in process at all. I had to ask if he is still there couple times. Closer to the end of interview he hurry me up - "it's fine, no need to finish it", at this point I ignored him and was able to get it done. Next day I got a reply "After reviewing your background and experience, we do not see a strong match at this time" which is an absolute lie. I do not recommend considering any opportunities at xcalar.
