Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Yodlee is a big company will several departments, every department has its own requirements.

I was inducted into the IAE department as an ASE through pool-campus placement.

The issue at Yodlee is that it's IAE department that they actively hire for, is the worst department as far as technical growth and knowledge are concerned. There is no learning. Hence usually the interviewers (mostly the directors, managers, and leads in IAE) who have been in the organization for a very large part of their career, are also very weak as far as their technical skills are concerned. Their political and toxic managerial skills skyrocket though. They stay there for too long and become virtually outdated in terms of their technical skills.

Therefore you can rest be assured that the interview quality will be well below average as far as IAE is concerned. I am not sure about other departments, but I would not assume otherwise. I would suggest, if you have to absolutely join IAE in Yodlee, just an average preparation would be more than enough. If you have other opportunities, I would suggest prioritizing them over Yodlee.
