BengaluruPosted Aug 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My earliest step was a 30-minute screen that ran with a third-party interviewer.

I applied through the career site and then got in touch with the recruiter through LinkedIn, which led to the scheduled session.

The process was focused only on that initial assessment window—short enough that it felt like the goal was to quickly gauge baseline fit and communication rather than go deep. In the end, I wasn’t selected for the next stages. What stood out to me most was how compressed the first interaction was, which made it feel high stakes right away.
