Yubi Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process felt overly lengthy and procedural, with a mechanical approach that lacked agility and offered little in terms of meaningful insights or engagement. It was a bit too long and by the book, not very flexible and didn't really give much useful info or feel engaging.

There were 4 rounds in total. The first two were technical rounds, which were quite straightforward. The first technical round focused on DSA, Java, and Spring Boot. The second technical round covered HLD, LLD, and some puzzles, although the interviewer wasn't very clear. Then, there was a Hiring Manager round which was more of an informal chat and went well. The last round was with HR, which felt odd because they seemed to think I was laid off and decided not to move forward. It felt like a way to reject me because of salary expectations. I was looking for a 35% raise, but they were only offering up to 20%. After that call, they just ghosted me. The recruiter didn't answer my calls or emails, which was unprofessional, especially after asking for my salary slips, PAN card, and appraisal letter.

The first round was a technical interview focusing on Data Structures and Algorithms. They also asked a lot about databases, and a couple of questions on Java Spring Boot. One question was about why you'd pick Java over C++.

I reached out to the recruiter on LinkedIn for the Director QA role since my profile was a good match. The recruiter asked for my details via email and said they'd set up a call with the hiring manager in a few days. When I didn't hear back after those days, I followed up, but got no response. I waited a few more days and followed up again because I was really interested, and the recruiter curtly replied that they needed until the next day EOD. I never heard back from them, even after two weeks. So, I eventually emailed the recruiter to say I assumed my profile wasn't selected since I hadn't heard back in two weeks, thanked them for their time, and ended the conversation. I found the lack of professionalism concerning, especially since it was a direct message for a senior role. If this is how they treat senior candidates, I don't think it reflects well on the company culture.
