BengaluruPosted Oct 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a group discussion and then an individual interview on the same day.

The GD topic was “day without mobile phone,” which immediately set a reflective tone—how I think about tradeoffs and impact without relying on a specific technical frame.

After that, I had two interviewers in separate roles during the technical/human side. One person asked technical questions, while the other handled HR-style questions. Overall it felt average in difficulty, and the experience ended without an offer. What stayed with me most was the switch: first arguing and communicating in the GD, then moving into more direct technical explanations and HR conversations right after.
