IndiaPosted Sep 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

For this software engineer track, the early interview questions were straightforward, but one experience turned tense and disrespectful.

Initial HR-style chat — I was first asked basic personal details and then about my strengths and weaknesses.
Domain basics — I also faced some basic electrical and mechanical questions and was expected to communicate confidently.
Hiring manager focus (same overall theme) — In another similar journey, the hiring manager repeatedly pushed for what made me “special” versus other candidates, creating a high-tension, demand-like interview rather than a conversational one. Outcome: No offer; when the questioning stayed objective it felt fine, but a confrontational manager
