HyderābādPosted Sep 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process started with multiple technical evaluation rounds—roughly three to four depending on what they wanted to cover—and it felt noticeably more intense than an average screen.

The focus was heavy on DSA and technical problem-solving, and it wasn’t just verbal; I could be asked to write down queries during technical rounds.

After the technical portion, there was a follow-up discussion with an HR manager. Across the whole journey, the sequence and pacing made it clear they were taking the evaluation seriously, but I didn’t end up getting an offer. What stayed with me most was how much of the interview time was spent on getting to the details in the technical rounds, rather than anything casual or purely conversational.
