MysorePosted Sep 2017 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through an early eLitmus-style screening and then a short technical sequence, mostly fundamentals and puzzles, before HR.

Aptitude/online test — an eLitmus technical aptitude-style test.
Technical interviews (2 rounds) — I was asked a mix of problem-solving and practical CS topics, including generating all possible anagrams from a string, a balance-style puzzle, plus database basics and normalization.
Panel/pure technical + HR — a multi-interviewer setup that combined technical questions with some HR prompts.
HR round — a dedicated HR conversation to wrap up the process. Outcome: I didn’t move forward; the experience felt like a straightforward but concept-heavy screen-to-tech-to-HR
