OSB India Interview process feedback

Overall Experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (Positive) I interviewed for a Salesforce Developer role at OSB India. The process had 3 rounds: HR screening, a technical round, and a managerial round. The difficulty level was moderate, and the process took around 1 weeks. Interview Questions & Rounds: • HR Screening: Basic questions about background and experience. • Technical Round: Deep dive into Salesforce concepts, Apex, and Lightning Web Components. • Managerial Round: Scenario-based problem-solving and project discussion. Pros: ✅ Well-structured process ✅ Interviewers were professional and engaging ✅ Relevant technical questions Final Thoughts: I had a good experience with OSB India’s interview process. If you are well-prepared in Salesforce technical concepts, you should be able to clear it. Would I recommend it? Yes, passionate pals can cherish go crazy here
