There were 4 rounds for the Associate Software Engineer role. First, a written test, then Technical Interview Round I. Technical Interview Round II was tougher. After that, a non-technical HR Interview, and finally Interview Round IV, which were the final interviews. The interviews went well. The Exterro office is really nice, with good interiors, one of the best in Tidel Park. Out of 20 applicants for Associate Software Engineer, 2 were selected. I was thrilled to get the job at Exterro since Coimbatore is my hometown. Getting the offer letter from Exterro felt like a dream come true. I'm happy working at Exterro now.
