IndiaPosted Sep 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a coding conversation where my thought process came out clearly as I articulated and wrote my approach.

The discussion felt like it was genuinely about clarity of reasoning.

Even so, it didn’t move forward, and I honestly didn’t understand why. The rejection felt oddly disconnected from the interaction itself, like the interviewer didn’t have a clear view of what led to the decision. The part I couldn’t shake was the sense that the evaluation was based on signals I didn’t fully agree with, even though there weren’t obvious red flags in how I communicated.
