ChennaiPosted May 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process was pretty smooth and it ran in two major rounds.

The first was a technical SDET-style interview, and the second was a director-level technical round. It felt like the flow was well organized, and I didn’t have to guess what was next.

The way I was evaluated matched the role mix: I was expected to be able to talk through a framework coding test approach, not just write code. There was also an emphasis on how I handled the technical discussion around code and architecture.

I ended up not receiving an offer, but the overall experience felt manageable—more of a structured conversation about how I think and how I build than a chaotic test.
