I applied via Company Website and was interviewed in Dec 2023. There were 3 interview rounds.

Round 1 - Coding Test 

Level of coding was high but i got cleared

Round 2 - English language test 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Synonyms, Spelling mistakes, One word substitues, Fill in blank
Round 3 - Group Discussion 

The panel member gave topic and no guidance was given, so the discussion was worst even it was not considered as discussion but a debate. Not all the candidates got a chance to tell their perspective on the topic which was horrible. It went like a fish market argument. The panel member was good but not able to giving each one a chance to speak is the thing that lacked of. I am not selected in this round even i put efforts in it.
