Process

I applied online.

The whole process took around one month.Worst conpany to have an interview with. All the glassdor ratings are fake. Ask the employees are already working.They don't have good reviews about this company. Round 1 : Basic Java Questions , Merge Interval , Project Discussion, Some HLD Question. (1 hour) Round 2: Some linked list based question , Implement LFU (1 hour) Round 3: This was Hiring Manager round , HLD Questions . Reverse Index , Read Heavy and Write Heavy System Architecture.

Round 4: HR Round . Basic HR questions , Like and Dislike , Cultural fit , Career goals. Round 5: Again HM round. Behavorial questions After taking 5 rounds they told me to share my current CTC details and payslips. Some person in Human resource called me to share my pancard and asked me about my expected CTC. I asked them around 30% hike on Base Salary and was even willing to negotiate. They told me that they will look into it and will come up with numbers.

After that they didn't called me for whole week. So when I called them they blocked my number and dropped my candidature without notifying me. What a worthless piece of people are working over there ! All was done to just harrass a candidate in a worst possible way. All the Hiring Manager in freshworks are biggest [ **some bad word in hindi :) **] Don't give an interview for Freshworks if you are looking for a decent hike on your base CTC. They are not even able to compensate for 20% hike.
