GAIN Credit (formerly Global Analytics) Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was pleasant and educational. There were no trick questions, just genuine conversations. The company seems very open and honest, a really welcoming place. I spoke with four different people, and they all did a great job representing the company.

I was contacted by the GC HR. The first round was with the manager, who was really friendly and a good listener. She asked about my current job and what I do, and checked how comfortable I am with different observability and monitoring tools. There were also some situation-based questions to see how I'd handle things. It went well, and the next day I got a call for round 2 with the director. The process was smooth. The director asked about design stuff and my current projects. Everything was fine until the end when he said my experience wasn't with payment gateway products, so he'd have to reconsider. Which was weird because it should've been clear from my resume. I tried to convince him I knew payment gateway design and could use my SRE/DevOps skills, and he seemed partly convinced. But then days and weeks went by with no response from HR to my calls or emails. They clearly didn't want to just say no. Honestly, it's good they didn't hire me; better unemployed than working for a company like that.

There are actually 4 rounds. 1. Written test where you'll be giving a question and you'll have to code to get the result. 2. If your code is well and perfect, you will be called for the 2nd round after a few days, which is technical round 1, where you will have to explain in detail what you had written in round 1. If you suggest a few code optimizations, it will be a plus for you. 3. If you satisfy the interviewer, you will be called for the 3rd round, which is Technical round 2, where you will be asked about your role and responsibilities in your current job. To test your technical stuff, you will have to solve some basic questions that are asked by the interviewer. 4. And I think this will be the final round (I have not cleared the 3rd round so I'm not sure about it) where you will be asked basic HR questions and salary discussion might be. The interview process is decent, I feel.

I went to a walk-in interview in Navalur, Chennai. The whole process was quite good, and everyone seemed very talented. It started with an aptitude test covering quant, logical reasoning, and English. They announced the results in about 10 minutes, and I got through to the next stage. The HR mentioned that the interview panel wasn't available right away and asked me to wait for about 90 minutes. After exactly 90 minutes, the first face-to-face technical discussion began. Since I have experience, they asked me about Java concepts and to write some SQL queries. I felt I did well. They also threw in some tricky logical puzzles, which I couldn't quite solve. I waited again for the results, and within 20 minutes, I found out I passed this round. Then, I was called for a second face-to-face technical discussion, which was also the final round. This time, they asked me to write more Java programs, discuss my previous projects, write more SQL queries, and tackle another logical puzzle. Except for a couple of SQL queries and the logical problem, I answered everything correctly. The interviewer seemed happy with my Java programming skills. I was asked to wait for the final decision. After about 10 minutes, the HR came to me and asked how the interview went. I said it was great. The HR then told me that my interviewer didn't give a positive response and that I could leave. I was really surprised by this outcome, as I thought I performed well. I'm not sure who to ask for a reason or if the whole thing was just for show.
