Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - There were 2 rounds in an Interview for the job profile as Cloud application administrator. The first round was Technical round. The questions were based on Informatica architecture, Various Issues that I have worked in my previous organization, Powercenter,IDQ installation and upgrade, some SQL case studies on metadata tables and basic overview of IICS tool. The second round was taken by Manager and it was purely based on Process followed while working for a pharmaceutical client. Decision making skills were tested by giving real time issues faced while working on a project.
My advice would be to write only those things in Resume for which you are confident enough to give answer to the tricky questions. The overall Interview experience was good and it is one of the best company to work with.
Wish you all the best for your Interview.
