The hiring journey kicked off with a quick chat, then an aptitude test to see how sharp your logic and math skills were. Next up was a technical MCQ round checking out programming know-how and basic CS stuff. After that, they hit me with two technical rounds diving deep into problem-solving, coding, and my past projects. The final step before the offer was a Managerial and HR chat about how I handle things, work with others, and deal with different situations. It was a pretty thorough process from start to finish.

Behavioral

It was a fun and engaging experience overall. The questions were detailed, thoughtful, and well-structured. I appreciated the effort put into making the process smooth and organized from start to finish. It really encouraged me to reflect more deeply on my experiences and skillset. That said, I do wish the questions were more in line with real-world industry scenarios. Some of them felt a bit disconnected from the day-to-day knowledge or challenges professionals typically face, which made it a bit tricky to relate at times. Still, I found the entire experience insightful and worth the time. It gave me a clearer sense of how to articulate my value and approach different professional situations. I’d definitely recommend it to others looking for a thoughtful evaluation process.
