Technical Behavioral

The interview process has 3 rounds. The first round is a technical round focusing on basic to mid-level technical questions across various subjects. The second round is another technical round, also with basic to mid-level questions, but the lead might ask random questions depending on their mood. They might still ask about areas you've said you don't have experience in. The third round is with the client or HR, which is usually smooth and straightforward. I passed all these rounds and completed the document verification and got the salary breakup. The role was also confirmed. However, I haven't received an offer letter yet.

Technical Coding Behavioral

So I interviewed with Nisum like 20 days ago. First, there was this technical round that took more than an hour. They hit me with a bunch of deep questions and a coding challenge, which I totally aced. Got good vibes and they said I passed. Then came the Managerial Round, which also went pretty smooth. After that, they told me the client would do the last round, but it took like two weeks to even set up. The client interview, I got technical questions again and two coding problems. I only solved one, but overall I thought I did alright. But then, another week later, they hit me with the news that the client rejected me because I didn't solve the coding problems. It feels like a total waste of time and effort when Nisum leads you on with good feedback, only for the client to just shoot you down in the end, especially if their say-so is the main thing. If it's all about the client, they should just handle the interviews from the start. It would be way more honest and save us candidates a lot of hassle and disappointment.
