Riversand Technologies Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process had 4 rounds. First was a coding round where small code snippets were asked. Second was a technical round covering MDM and other tool-related questions. Third was a managerial round. Lastly, there was an HR round.

I went to their office for an interview. They called me at 10 AM, but nobody was there until after 10 AM. I didn't know what kind of interview it would be. I had to wait for the interviewer, and then we had to find a place to sit for about 10 minutes. The interviewer then took a 10-minute call. They told me 10 AM was not a good time for them, which made me wonder why they called me then. I was given a technical test on OOP concepts. After that, another technical person came in and started asking detailed technical questions without introducing himself or his position. He expected me to know things perfectly, even though I mentioned I had 5 years of experience. He seemed unprepared for the interview. Eventually, they said they would contact me later. Overall, the company didn't seem to have much to offer. The office had a cheap, internet café style setup for most employees, with top management in cabins. It was a very bad experience.

HR first got in touch to set up a phone interview, which took about 3 days to schedule. The call started on time, but there was quite a bit of background noise, suggesting the interviewer was at her desk. After some initial small talk about my experience, the questions began. They weren't very structured, focusing mainly on definitions and basic OOP concepts. The interviewer seemed unsure, especially when she asked about StringBuffer in C#, possibly confusing Java and .Net. This really didn't make a good impression. The questions felt too basic and didn't seem aimed at assessing a senior developer's skills. Then came the surprise: the job was advertised as a .Net position, and HR confirmed this, but midway through, the interviewer stated it was actually a Java role, which explained the StringBuffer question. At this point, I lost interest. The interview concluded after about 30 minutes, leaving me with a disappointing feeling of having wasted time on a pointless discussion.

After the telephonic round, the interviewer will grill you for more than 1.5 hours, asking over 50 questions. The interviewer doesn't seem to have good knowledge of Cloud or DevOps tools. He comes with scripted scenario-based questions and looks for the exact answer written on his paper, making it feel like a social studies oral exam. After the interview, I was told there will be a 3-member team and whole night shifts. It was a very bad experience with a scripted interview.
