BengaluruPosted Jan 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview started like a standard pipeline: an introductory call with HR, then a coding round on HackerRank, followed by a live coding round.

After that I had a technical experience interview, and then a system design / architecture interview. Scheduling wasn’t rigid at all—I ended up rescheduling multiple times, and they were genuinely accommodative.

The overall experience felt structured end to end, and the progression made sense: first baseline communication and coding, then deeper experience, and finally how I thought about architecture. I didn’t end up receiving an offer, but the process itself felt smoother than many systems I’d dealt with.
