IndiaPosted May 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

This one was an on-campus style process that felt closer to a real team project than a traditional interview.

I had to form a small team of three or four people, and during a hackathon we were given three problem statements. We picked one and built a project around it, with the panel dropping in to ask questions as the work progressed.

What stood out was the review structure. There were three reviews total, including the final one, and I was expected to show my project end-to-end—how it worked from start to finish—rather than just demoing the best parts. The panel’s questions were tied to the full flow of the solution, so I spent time clarifying the reasoning behind the design and how the pieces fit
