LucknowPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview kicked off as an on-campus process, and it moved pretty directly through stages.

There was a technical assessment with two DSA questions, followed by a technical interview where I was pushed on core CS concepts. I also had a segment focused on SQL—basic to medium level—plus additional fundamentals.

The later rounds shifted toward the hiring manager and the DBMS/leadership areas. The process felt clearly structured from early technical screening into more managerial evaluation, and it ultimately resulted in an offer for me.
