"The first round was recruiter screening via phone call, it went well. Then a zoom call with the principal software engineer, that went well too. Then came the 4 round loop. I messed up during the system design, as the structure for that round was completely different from what was described. The rest went well. But yeah didn make it"

"The process was smooth and candidate friendly. The recruiter gave enough context about the rounds. I found the feedback received was at a very high level and not much details were shared specifically for the design round."

"The interview lasted about four hours and was divided into several sections. One section focused on behavioral questions, where I was asked about my past experiences, how I handle different situations, and examples of teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving. Another section assessed my math skills through quantitative and analytical questions. The final section was technical and conceptual, testing my understanding of fundamental technical concepts, my reasoning process, and how I approached solving technical problems rather than simply recalling facts."

"The process was bit lag but being patient wins the race. Be confident, explain deeply on your experience, work that uniquely done, times you have gone above and beyond. How you uplifted the team and delivered"

"The recruiter screen was very basic, about experience and expectations. The coding part had two problems, one LC easy and another LC medium but also on the easier side. The system design is very similar to what you find on the first few problems on youtube."

"The process was structured and fairly rigorous, with a good mix of behavioral questions and case-based problem solving. The recruiter was clear about what to expect and provided helpful guidance on how to prepare. I appreciated that the interviewers were engaged and gave me room to explain my thinking rather than focusing only on the final answer. The main challenge was the pace of some of the case discussions, where there was limited time to structure the problem and work through the analysis. Overall, though, the process felt organized and relevant to the work of a management consultant."

"Overall good. Round interview really intense. 1 hour for each and have to deal with 4 managers one by one."
