Technical Coding
They have separate rounds and then a lab portion. The lab requires you to find a hidden number of findings without knowing the target amount beforehand. You won't get any feedback and are expected to invest many hours on this. I felt misled and the offer was below the stated range, making it one of the worst interview experiences.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Are you willing to spend unpaid personal time for extended hours to impress us?

Behavioral Technical
The interview process had 4 rounds in total. First was an HR Discussion where they asked about my past experience, my roles and responsibilities, and my expected salary. Then there were two Technical Rounds (Round 1 and Round 2). In these technical rounds, they asked questions based on my experience and the subject matter. The last round was with the Project Manager, where they focused on project-based questions.

Technical Coding Behavioral Case
So the interview had five stages total. First up was a written test that checked my reasoning, aptitude, and some technical knowledge. If I passed that, I went into a technical round with more detailed questions about programming and problem-solving. Then came the HR round, where they asked about my history, what I'm good at, bad at, and what I want from a job. After that, I had a managerial round focused on how I'd deal with actual work scenarios, like teamwork and issue resolution. The last one was the director round with senior management, discussing my future goals and how I'd fit into the company's overall plan. They used all the feedback from these five rounds to make their decision.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- I was asked Python coding challenges, questions about APIs, and real-time scenario-based problems in the first round.
- In the technical round, they asked about projects on my resume, technologies I used, Python questions, APIs, IP addresses, and MAC addresses.
- The HR round involved questions about my background, strengths, weaknesses, and job expectations.
