I applied via campus placement at University of Pune, Pune and was interviewed before Feb 2021.
3 Interview Rounds
1
Aptitude Test Round
Test was pretty straight forward and easy. No coding questions most of them was Math and Logical.
You just need to get through all the sections. Scoring well in one and poor in other will limit your chances for selection. Better be average in all sections.

A group of 5-7 will be created and would be given and business use case. Such as, "What factors would affect the sales of a newly opened McDonald's if there is already one in the same area or a competitor nearby"

Interview Preparation Tips
Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Guys, this company is trash. These guys are so unprofessional and the company is full of youngsters. Our interviewer was a 24 year old guy, lol. So, here goes my experience: We were called in the early morning and the mu Sigma team kept us waiting for about 5 hours. The first round was an aptitude round which was called as muAPT. I cleared the 'muAPT' exam. Next round was the CASE STUDY ROUND. In the case study round they gave us a problem statement which was of just 1 line. No proper explanation of the problem. So, after we were finished the young 'newbie' interviewer told us that we got the question wrong. Like seriously? After 20 mins you heard everything by nodding your head and then you say that we got the question wrong. I am so glad that I was not selected in this trash company. The online review about your company is so true. So, guys if you are not selected here then you are so lucky. Go for better companies, this is not worth your time.
I was interviewed in Aug 2017.
6 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: muApt was conducted by CoCubes, an online assessment platform.
There were 42 questions related to general aptitude, logical reasoning and personality, merged under one section.
Personality based questions were from articles shared by muSigma recruitment team few days before muApt.
Round: Essay Writing
Experience: We were asked to write about our life experience!
Round: Group Activity
Experience: Our topic was "To develop a custom recommendation engine for Amazon"
Our group had 7 members. We were provided with a blank sheet to structure out points.
I started the discussion with setting the real objective for the discussion.
For example: Amazon wants to generate more revenue through this given engine. So, the baseline would be "recommending the right thing to the right person & generating more revenue"
Next thing we did, was to layout the structure/parameters we wanted to discuss.
Followed by a normal discussion of each parameter, there were sometimes when group discussion was getting off track.
Then, It was the right time for me to show my leadership skills. I re-read our real objective to bring the discussion back on track.
The discussion went smooth. Each and every member contributed their best.
In the end, the moderator asked me to summarise the points.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Aptitude test
Experience: It had quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, reading comprehension questions, questions to access one's behavioral aspects (these don't affect ones score) and also one data related case study question.
The questions were pretty basic and doable, the only catch being the time limit and the sectional cutoff for each section.
Tips: Ensure you attempt questions from each section to clear sectional cutoff for each round.
Round: Video Synthesis
Experience: A video of the company's? founder speaking on company's philosophy was played. Candidates were asked to jot down what the video says as per their own understanding
Tips: No need to give detailed description of what was said in the video. Jotting down the key message from the video works (this differs from person to person, which is absolutely fine)
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Shortlisted candidates from video Synthesis round were sent in groups of 6-7 for GD in separate rooms. My group had some aggressive speakers. I spoke a fair number of times whenever I could.
Tips: Don't counter argue someone's opinion pointing at them directly or looking at him. Don't get too aggressive and hold your temper. Use body language (hand gestures, voice modulation, etc) to gather attention.
Duration: 20 minutes
Skills: Ability To Think Out Of The Box, Communication And Confidence, Knowledge About The Company

Alternate documents for Employee verification?
My new employer asked for my previous offer letters and salary slips. When I inquired, they said it was for background verification.
However, I feel that providing these documents might affect salary negotiations, and it feels a bit unethical too.
What alternative documents can I provide for employment verification?
