First round was easy python and sql related questions. Serving round was F2F at Richmond Circle Bengaluru. Questions include python, sql, design patterns, AI. Word word word word word word word word word word.

I had a very disappointing and exhausting interview experience. I applied online and went through multiple rounds, each lasting around 1 to 1.5 hours, making the overall process extremely time-consuming. Before starting the interview, the HR asked for a 360° room scan, screen sharing, and device verification, which felt excessive and uncomfortable—as if the candidate is being treated with suspicion rather than trust. The first round was focused on React fundamentals and went smoothly. The second and third rounds were based on .NET, Azure, and design-level discussions, which were technical but reasonable. After that, I was asked to visit a third-party location for further rounds. Even after completing the on-site process, additional rounds were scheduled. The fourth round, which was described as “just a formality,” turned out to be the worst. The interviewer (architect) seemed unprepared, asked random questions across .NET and React, and continuously interrupted without properly listening to answers. The discussion lacked depth and professionalism. In total, I went through 5 rounds, investing significant time and effort. However, there was no feedback provided afterward. After waiting for nearly a month and following up, I was simply told that they had selected another candidate. Overall, the process felt overly lengthy, poorly managed, and lacking respect for the candidate’s time. I would advise others to think twice before engaging in such an unstructured and exhausting hiring process.

The interview process is pathetic. As others have pointed, the HR asks to show the room in 360°, share the screen and show if one is using work or personal laptop before starting the interview. The first round was pretty smooth and was based on fundamentals. For the second round, the HR asked to come down to a third party location(VC centers). They make you sit alone in the room and again verify your documents. Both the HR and the interviewer will be joined virtually, it's just the candidate in that room. 2nd round was again on Fundamentals, coding and few questions related to system. The worst part is that the HR didn't give me the feedback post this round and didn't even respond to my call or email. Advice to the candidates to not waste time by accepting to go to their third party locations for the interview.
