InfoBeans Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process itself was good, and the technical team seemed professional. However, there were multiple issues with HR and onboarding. I was interviewed for a "Senior Technical Support engineer" role, but the offer and communications were for a "Support Engineer" position. When I asked for clarification, I got simple response, it was a "typo mistake." HR also pressured me to complete the onboarding process before receiving an official offer letter. When I requested a Letter of Intent (LOI), I received only a draft without company logo or official signatures, making it unofficial and unclear. While the interview experience seemed promising, the HR process and lack of clarity about the role need significant improvement to build trust for potential employees.

A recruiter reached out, and the first interview was set for three weeks out. The job ad said what they'd look at, which was good, but they didn't mention anything about coding on paper. The interview used HirePro, which is this automated thing where you log into a portal. You had to share your screen, and it watched if you went anywhere else. Your camera also had to be on the whole time, but the interviewers didn't have to be. It was a really strict setup, very monitored. The first round was just one panel asking questions back-to-back, not much talking. They didn't ask follow-ups or try to dig into what I was saying, felt like they were just checking boxes instead of seeing if I could actually solve problems or knew my stuff. They asked a lot about system design for distributed systems, like making things resilient and handling distributed transactions. There were also two coding problems about basic string and date stuff, where you had to write code without any help from an IDE. It was more about covering a lot of topics and writing it down than actually talking about architecture or how I'd solve problems.

After my resume was shortlisted, the interview process began. Initially, the interviewer asked me some fundamental questions about Python, specifically covering data types like lists, dictionaries, and tuples. Following that, I was tasked with writing a Python script to validate form submissions.

First, I had a recruiter call where they asked me some questions and how soon I could join. I told them I was available right away and they set up an interview with three rounds: two technical and one HR chat. I did well in the technical rounds. Before the HR round, they asked for my paperwork, which I sent over (all my old job papers). Even after they checked my documents and I passed the two tech interviews, HR didn't get back to me. When I followed up, they said they'd added another step – an interview with the client – before the HR talk. I was okay with that, but then two weeks passed with no news. So I called again, and this time HR mentioned the job was paused and suggested I take other offers. After over a month of waiting, I found out the job was indeed on hold. It felt like a complete waste of my time with Infobeans. I'd tell others to avoid this place if they don't want to waste their time.
