BengaluruPosted Jul 2016 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a longer, more difficult sequence with several technical rounds and an HR close, focused heavily on my background and coding ability.

Coding round — a structured coding task.
Technical rounds (3) — multiple deep technical interviews.
Manager round — a conversation about how my background matched the role.
HR round — an HR conversation near the end.
Extended multi-round flow (5–6 rounds) — across the journey, I also experienced a mix of programming exercises/mini-project style evaluation plus domain knowledge checks. Outcome: I didn’t move forward; the process felt difficult and heavily evaluated core skills plus fit.
