The interview process was centered around Excel skills, specifically asking about vlookup, hlookup, and sumif, along with questions from my resume. After joining, I discovered it's a great company to work and relax in, with low pressure, good canteen food, and convenient timings: 10:30 tea break, 1:00 pm lunch, 4:30 pm snack, and leaving at 5:00 pm.

  • Can you explain vlookup, hlookup, and sumif formulas, and also tell me about your resume?

it had a GD, GT, and an Interview. GD, I was surprised by the topic and just left silent, just listening to people, what they are speaking. At last, I spoke 3 sentences. My performance in this round was poor. GT, they were given each word to everyone and make a story out of it. Everyone started thinking of their own word and united them, brought them on one term and tried to make a story out of it. It went quiet well. Then comes the main part, the interview, I nailed it. This is the round which is the reason for my selection, even I have a bit low marks in my GATE exam.

When we got there, they checked our call letters and gave us passes. We started with a company presentation (PPT). Afterwards, we were split into groups. We were offered some refreshments like tea, coffee, and biscuits. Then, our documents were verified. This was followed by a Group Discussion and then a Group Task. Finally, there was an interview. After the interview, we had to fill out a feedback form. We then had lunch in their canteen.
