BengaluruPosted Oct 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My first round was mostly centered on one of my projects and what I learned from it.

I had to describe a project in terms of both design and product impact, and then the interviewer pushed with follow-ups about what I would do differently right now.

That “what would you change” angle made the round feel more reflective and less purely technical. It wasn’t about listing features; it was about showing judgment and growth based on real experience.

I didn’t receive an offer. Still, I felt the structure was fair because it directly tested how I think about tradeoffs and improvement, not just whether I could explain the project once.
