BengaluruPosted Aug 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a fairly lightweight first stage after applying, and it felt almost like a quick filter.

The interview was mostly one coding question about finding a missing number in an array, followed by a few fundamentals questions across OOPs and DBMS. There were also resume-based questions touching on REST APIs.

Overall, it didn’t feel like a deep dive, and the difficulty matched that—easy to medium in my head, not the kind of marathon testing that other teams described. I was not extended an offer, and the process ended right after this round without much follow-up feedback.
