PunePosted Jul 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process felt structured from the beginning, like it was built to quickly separate candidates.

It ran across multiple rounds—first an aptitude portion, then a technical interview, and finally an HR round. The overall level was moderate, and the environment itself was friendly, so even though it wasn’t a cakewalk, it didn’t feel hostile.

The timeline also made sense to me: I ended up spending about a full day on the interviews. That stretch included time for the aptitude and technical parts, then closing with HR. I remember appreciating the pace and the fact that the conversations didn’t feel overly formal.

I didn’t receive an offer, but the rejection didn’t leave me with much
