Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks.

  1. Introductory call - had an introductory call with Recruiter (duration: ~1 hour). 2. Technical Interview - discussed about previous projects, problems faced and questions about how browsers work (duration: 1 hour) 3. On-site Interview (virtual) - had two rounds of onsite coding round of 2:30 hrs each. 4. EM round (If candidate cleared onsite rounds). 5. Zoom call with DOE (Director of Engineering). 6. HR call. I was selected but HR said - "According to the company's policy, you've to give us your current salary slips and we'll offer a certain hike based on your existing salary". Which means - even though two employees work at the same designation, their salary may differ by 40-50% because they were paid differently by their previous employers. I withdrew my application after the call as I don't want to be associated with a company that does not believe in Equal Pay for Equal Work.
