IndiaPosted Dec 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I ended up going through a small set of interviews: one technical discussion and then a single onsite block that combined technical and behavioral elements.

Both of the technical parts leaned on OOP-style questions rather than the usual LeetCode format, which caught me a little off guard because I’d mentally mapped the screening to more coding-in-the-traditional-way.

The behavioral portion felt like the standard interview loop—meant to understand how I handled typical scenarios and communicate my thought process. The day felt more like verifying how I work than trying to overwhelm me with trivia. Overall, it didn’t result in an offer for me, but it was still a coherent process where the themes stayed consistent across rounds.
