BengaluruPosted Oct 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My timeline was pretty clear: I received an OA soon after applying, and then I moved into scheduling a couple of technical interviews.

The whole thing took about two weeks in January. After the OA came in, I had two LeetCode questions at the easy-to-medium level, and the platform used HackerRank for the follow-up.

In the next step, I had two technical interviews that were each about 45 minutes. The first was a more standard DSA/LeetCode style problem. The second was different—it was a full-stack style task where I had to work with raw HTML/JS. Across both interviews, the questions were practical and tied back to the kind of work the team would actually do, and the interviewers were from the team I’d be interning with.
