I applied through a recruiter.
Where to start, nothing fancy. Like all other employers out there Freshwork's interview process is straight forward. They'll call you once your resume is shortlisted, by the way I didn't applied anywhere except that I mentioned I'm open for work in linkedin and naukri(TA better knows how to filter from there and they'll ring you regarding job openings). After shortlisting, first round is an online technical interview, be prepared you may encounter anyone as a panelist (even at the last moment they will change meeting schedules). So don't get disappointed with that. Now after all once your'e set with everything, there starts the interview.
Don't worry you don't have to prepare any fancy things, they simply beat around the bush about your past projects( starting from your first employer, as if they wanted all the details 😂😂😂). Then based on the mood of panelist you might get one basic problem(you can easliy solve that one). And finally, that's the end of your first round. Now you got to know that you have performed exceptionally well, but but..... never ever have such thoughts when you especially interview with FRESHWORKS. So the next phase in the process is follow up about your feedback. 1. You start calling HR/TA regarding your feedback, they'll pick your call for the first time and reply : Team is busy with prod issues, I'll getback soon.
(To write a feedback, I think it won't take more than 10 mins if the panelist already has notes about interview) 2. From your second call, they'll start ghosting you. 3. So you'll start dropping mails - (don worry you'll never get any replies). 4. After some 2-3 weeks later, after your continuous spamming(yeah asking for your feedback is a spam in recent days, especially with employers believing themselves as a SILICON VALLEY's child) you'll get a mail template from HR saying you're not selected. So this is all about FRESHWORKs interview process. I think they wanted to show off in market that they're existing. Verdict : Fake Interview Advice to management - Is there management inside FRESHWORKs ?
Advice to people like me - Don't fall for the name Freshworks, they're not what they used to are.
