Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - India
Process
The first round was an online test. It consisted of 15 MCQs and 1 coding question. Most of the MCQs were technical questions covering topics like OS, CN, and DBMS, and it had a few general aptitude questions too. This was followed by two technical, one managerial, and one HR round.
Questions
I had GD as the first round.
The topic given was "Is India ready for a cashless society?".
They gave me 10 minutes to think about the topic and note down a few points.
Then, the interview went on for 20 minutes.
The whole interview was for 30 minutes.

- 4.0Good Benefits, Slow GrowthSoftware Development Engineer • Current EmployeeOctober 12, 2022Pros: - Great benefits with stock options. - The company offers a lot of different support benefits even outside of working hours, like travel support and emergency help. - Somewhat competitive salary. I say somewhat as it depends if what you do is in demand and how replaceable you are.Cons: - Very little advancement opportunity unless you are in sales. - So much bureaucracy and unnecessary hoops to jump through for simple things sometimes.

Working with people all over the world.Cons: Just a personal thing, I was hired for a contract I was given very little information about. It was stupid of me to take it. It was the easiest job I got. Just an overall telephone call with the manager and a simple tech phone screen. It would be great to work there permanently and be hired.
