IndiaPosted Nov 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through an on-campus style selection that had a clear progression: an aptitude step, then four rounds total—two technical interviews, one managerial interaction, and a final HR round.

The interviewers were friendly early on, and the first round actually felt a lot easier than the rest.

As the day went on, the difficulty ramped up quickly and the later rounds became much harder, with the technical discussions feeling more demanding than the initial screen. I left the process feeling like they intentionally used the early rounds to filter and then pushed depth as things continued. In the end, the combination of escalating difficulty and the managerial focus meant I didn’t make it through successfully.
