This whole interview process took 5 days to complete. In total, there were 5 rounds. It started with an aptitude round, then followed by three technical rounds, and finally an HR round. All of these rounds were elimination rounds. The main focus was on oops and DSA concepts. They asked questions based on the programming language you prefer and the projects you listed on your resume.

Technical Coding

After an aptitude test, there were 3 technical rounds. My background is in Machine Learning, but the interviewer was from a Java background. They seemed forced to ask ML questions and googled them during the interview, expecting exact answers. The interviewer was judgmental, provided incorrect information when I asked questions, and the interview was very long, making me wish I had spent the time doing something else.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Were basic ML questions asked, for which a word-for-word answer was expected?

The interview process lasted for 5 months. After I got the offer and had already spoken with my manager, they rescinded it without any explanation. I tried contacting HR several times, but they were unprofessional. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this company.
