The interview process
Described in candidates’ own words.
“The screening process was difficult but also very rewarding in the long run. There is an initial interview process followed by a technical exam. After that there is a secondary interview and then after you pass that you will have a final interview, and then contract negotiation will follow.”Candidate-reported process
“5 levels of interview. Most of the interviews are technical in nature. Questions range from basic to troubleshooting scenario-based questions where the person needs to think about the next steps. Final interview is with the hiring manager and HR.”Candidate-reported process
“The interview process was good but I don’t know DSA much so I failed and couldn’t pass. Be prepared with DSA and don’t work with it as it doesn’t bothered with work much.”Candidate-reported processMore reports lockedRead 300+ more interview experiences
