ChennaiPosted Mar 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a pretty straightforward three-round interview flow that matched what I’d expected: an aptitude test, then a group discussion, then a technical interview.

The questions mostly pulled from what was already on my resume, down to the details of the topics I’d listed, so nothing felt random.

The difficulty landed around average for me. The aptitude portion and the rest of the format made it clear that they wanted solid basics rather than trick answers, and once I focused on fundamentals, the whole thing felt manageable. The group discussion wasn’t something I could wing without thinking, but it also didn’t feel like it was designed to be adversarial.

By the end of it, I did get an offer. What I remember most is how coherent the process
