The interview process felt organized and quick, beginning with a large pool. Roughly fifty students were shortlisted, then the process moved through three stages. In the first technical round, I leaned heavily on my resume because the discussion focused on projects, including architecture choices and implementation details. Near the end, the interviewer moved to core DSA, especially searching and sorting.

Only a small group advanced, and the second stage became much harder. The senior-manager-style interview required deep, granular Java and framework-ecosystem knowledge. I struggled because the questions felt specialized, and the gap between knowing the concepts and explaining the framework-specific depth was larger than I expected. Only a handful cleared it.

The final stage was an HR behavioral check on culture fit and communication. The interviewers were friendly and supportive even when I stumbled on harder questions. I did not get the final offer, but I appreciated their professionalism and how transparent the process felt as it became tougher.

Location: India. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
