IndiaPosted Aug 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview journey began with a machine coding round where I was asked to build a seat-selection and ticket-booking flow in a BookMyShow-style setup, including infinite currying as part of the coding challenge.

The interviewer was unusually helpful and gave me clues to keep me moving, even though I couldn’t finish within the one-hour target. That support helped, but the round still felt demanding.

After that came system design, then an EM round, and finally an HR round. The overall difficulty was hard, and by the time it ended I wasn’t successful. The hardest part wasn’t just the problems—it was keeping pace under time pressure while still trying to incorporate the hints mid-solution.
