BengaluruPosted Oct 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I started with a HackerRank assessment, which included output prediction, aptitude, and core CS fundamentals.

After that assessment, I moved into a total of three interviews—two technical and one HR.

Across the technical interviews, the topics were classic core areas like OS, computer networking, and DBMS, plus coding questions. The whole process was described as aimed at fresher level, and it matched that feel.

Difficulty was easy overall, and the flow from assessment to interviews felt coherent. I didn’t end up with an offer, but I left feeling like I understood the scope of what they were testing.
