I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Bitwise (Pune)
Interview
There are total 3 rounds
2 Technical Rounds
1 Director Round
First round was technical discussion with Panel of two delivery managers. It went on for duration of around 1 hour.
Questions were asked about work done by me in all my previous companies.
Technical questions about data warehousing concepts and practical scenarios were asked.
Second round was with panel of 3 people including - 2 EVPs & 1 delivery manager.
This was one of the toughest technical interview I have ever appeared for. People in the panel were senior and extremely interested in technology. I was asked about almost everything in Data warehousing. Was asked to draw architecture diagram of a typical data warehouse on a board. I drew and explained them about architecture of data warehouse.
Then questions were asked about each and every block in the diagram.
Their emphasis was mainly on Data modelling, Data normalization, Data governance, Data quality, Data Lineage, Data Lake.
For every answer I gave, they had counter question which use to dig the topic even deeper.
This discussion was going on for more than 1.5 hours.
At the end , I asked about the role description and products/services bitwise offers. EVP sounded very enthusiastic about their products, and he explained me all their products in detail. To my surprise, he was speaking for around 25-30 mins. Gave me clearcut idea about my role & products they offer.
Overall it was wonderful discussion. It went pretty smooth for me and I guess panel was also happy with my overall response in the interview.
I was told that I might need to appear for directorial interview within a week. But I haven't heard anything from them since last one month now. I think they might be interviewing other candidates for same post, and might have kept my profile on hold till then.
