Fivetran | Software Engineer | HackerRank + Java Multithreading | Offer

• Location: India

Process

HackerRank coding round → Face-to-face coding interview → Offer

The process had two technical rounds. The first was on HackerRank. After that round was cleared, the process moved to a face-to-face interview.

What Happened in Each Round

1. HackerRank Coding Round

The interviewer gave two medium-difficulty coding problems. Rather than testing one narrow data structure, the questions focused on puzzle-solving, basic mathematical tricks, and thinking outside the box.

2. Face-to-Face Coding Interview

The interviewer gave one more medium-difficulty coding problem. The exact problem was not disclosed.

The report also listed Java security and multithreading in Java among the technical topics, but did not say which round covered them.

The experience was rated negative. According to the report, when artificial intelligence came up, the interviewer quickly said it was outside his domain and reacted with a laugh that the op considered unprofessional 😂

Original Questions

No complete coding prompt was shared. The only technical topics listed verbatim were:

• “Java security.”
• “Multithreading in Java.”

Follow-ups

No follow-up questions were disclosed.

Result

The process ended with an offer.
