BengaluruPosted Feb 2016 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The interview depth seemed to hinge on how confident I was in the current technology I’d been working with.

It started with basic questions and then moved into more detailed exploration of the concepts tied to that domain. The overall flow felt like it would broaden depending on what I said I knew.

Because it was framed as a depth-first check rather than a fixed script, the difficulty landed in the difficult category for me—there was an expectation to go beyond surface-level answers.

I didn’t get an offer, but I left with a clear sense of what they were testing: whether my understanding was strong enough to withstand follow-ups rather than just being able to survive a first question.
