Workflow Steps

The typical hiring process journey

Application & Shortlisting:

Apply via the careers portal or campus drives. Referrals are highly recommended as resume shortlisting is strict.

Online Assessment (OA):

45–75 minutes. Usually hosted on CodeSignal. Contains 3-4 coding problems (Medium to Hard). You must aim for a near-perfect score to get shortlisted.

Phone/Technical Screening:

Often a 45-minute round to test core DSA and filter out candidates before the main loop.

Interview Rounds

What to expect in the onsite/virtual loops

Round 1 (OA):

CodeSignal test. Speed and accuracy are key. Expect matrix traversal or dynamic programming.

Round 2 & 3 (Technical - DSA):

Live coding. Interviewers look for optimal time/space complexity, clean code, and edge case handling. Graph algorithms (Dijkstra, BFS/DFS, Topological Sort) are highly favored.

Round 4 (Machine Coding / LLD):

You will be given a problem (e.g., Design a Car Rental System, Vending Machine, or Rate Limiter). You must write extensible, object-oriented, and compilable code within 60-90 minutes.

Round 5 (HM Round):

Deep dive into your resume. Be ready to explain *why* you chose specific technologies in your projects and answer situational questions using the STAR method.
