CleverTap Interview Questions
& Process

It started with an OA test, which had 5 Aptitude and Computer Basic Questions along with 2 DSA Questions (1 Easy and 1 Medium). Then, there was a 1st Round Interview that lasted for 1 hr, virtually (1 on 1). This round included 2 DSA questions (Easy to Medium) and 1 SQL Question. Additionally, some questions on networking and OS were asked. The 2nd Round Interview went into more detail about my projects, and it included 1 Hard level Binary tree question and 1 SQL Based question.

It was a long interview process. The interviews themselves were okay, the people I spoke with were reasonably polite. I found the interview to be more conservative, with a model of ready-made and closed questions. The Role Play phase was the most frustrating, they gave instructions for a 1-hour panel in total, divided into 4 areas. This took a lot of time to prepare and study a product that you don't yet know intimately. And after all this work, they didn't even give me an answer. If I hadn't sought out the HR person to get feedback, I would still be waiting. And even so, that HR person offered to give me feedback and I'm still waiting. I found the whole thing quite disrespectful and disorganized, given the size of the company.

I wanted to give some feedback on the interview process. Even if I were chosen for the next step, I wouldn't continue. The interview felt all over the place and not very professional. One person on the call didn't even turn on their camera, was eating, and took a phone call while someone else was talking. They didn't introduce themselves at the start, and it felt more like being grilled than a chat. It was dull and unengaging, making me feel out of place. The lack of leadership I saw during the interview sealed my decision not to move forward. I think making the interview process more professional and structured would really help candidates and make CleverTap look better.

There were 4 interview sections in total. First, an aptitude test covering cognitive and technical aspects, which was quite basic and easily passable. After passing this, I was invited for more technical rounds. The first technical interview assessed my fundamental knowledge of programming languages, backend, frontend, and SDKs. I received the results in about half an hour, and immediately after, the second technical round commenced. This second round was more in-depth, focusing on Android application development and Firebase FCM. Passing this led to the final manager round, an online one-on-one session with the company's Vice President. The questions in this final round were simple, asking about my future aspirations and family background. Although I answered politely, I was rejected without any feedback, which was quite disappointing. The overall interview process was decent, but the final round felt unsatisfactory.
