> Did those questions end up being seriously relevant to the work?

Oh, God no. I've never been asked a question in a job interview that was in any way relevant to the work I actually ended up doing.




Only one question has ever been relevant for me. It was about map reduce for locations and the job was using map reduce on location data...


At the job I have now, they spent the whole interview session asking about Python, Scala, machine learning, natural language processing, Spark and Hadoop clustering. I've been doing Angular 2 front-end work since I started.
