The interview process was terrible and felt like a joke. They claimed I'd be designing pipelines, but it turns out this isn't really an engineering company, it's more of a burger place. I'm now flipping burgers, though the free food is a plus.

The interview process at Lince Soft Solutions Pvt. Ltd. usually starts with an HR screening. After that, there's a technical round where they check your core skills in things like Java, SQL, or whatever technologies are relevant. Then, you might have a chat with a manager or a client. They're looking at how you solve problems, what projects you've worked on, and how well you communicate. It's typically 2–3 rounds total, and they usually get back to you pretty quickly with feedback. Candidates generally find the interview experience to be professional and friendly.

Behavioral

The interviewer asked me about my background and experience, and why I am looking for a new job. They also asked about my biggest weaknesses and advantages, and what I like to do in my spare time. They asked me to tell them a little bit about myself and why I think I match this job and our company. Finally, they asked how I can finish a tight and difficult job. The interviewer then said that was it for the day, thought I was okay, and the interview ended.
