The interview process
Described in candidates’ own words.
“First, there was a coding assessment. Then, I had a face-to-face technical round where they mainly wanted to check my understanding of core concepts like OOPS, and also how I'd explain my project workflow and architecture. Finally, there was an HR round where we talked about past work culture and compensation/offer details.”Candidate-reported process
“We had a technical round for the coding test where you're given 30 minutes to solve LeetCode-style problems while screen-sharing. Then, there was another 30-minute session covering general Java, Spring, and API design topics.”Candidate-reported process
“I had a technical interview focused on my Java skills, how I work, and my response times. I talked with four engineers, including the CIO. I also had to do a coding assessment that was pretty high-level but required critical thinking.”Candidate-reported processMore reports lockedRead 300+ more interview experiences
