BengaluruPosted Dec 2013 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for Software Engineer through a high-elimination sequence—phone screens followed by a long online test and then more interviews.

Phone interview #1 — A ~45 minute technical discussion that felt elimination-style.
Phone interview #2 — Another ~45 minute round with a similar elimination feel.
Online test — A ~3 hour online test.
Interviews — After the online test, I went through three additional interviews.
HR offer — The HR part was described as mostly a formality. Outcome: I didn’t move forward, and my takeaway was that the process was designed to narrow quickly at each step.
