Candidate-reported interview process
The whole interview process was super smooth and wrapped up in about 3 weeks. HR was really on top of things, giving feedback fast and staying in touch. It basically had 3 main rounds plus an HR chat: first, an Online Assessment with coding and DSA stuff, then a Technical Discussion, followed by a Techno Managerial Discussion, and finally the HR Round.
It was a pretty straightforward interview process. The recruiter laid out the entire process beforehand, so I had a good idea of what to expect in each step. It was a practical approach, designed to test the skills you'd actually use in the job day-to-day.
It was a pretty typical interview process, they gave me a take-home project to see if I could do the work. The project was okay in size, but it would have been better if they had given more clear instructions. I heard back pretty fast, but they could definitely make the process better and smoother for candidates.
