March 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Codility test followed by 3 technical interviews and a final hiring manager interview.
The behavior of HR was not good. You kept following up with them, and there was no response from their end.
Though all rounds were easy and went fine, they haven't contacted after the hiring manager round.
After several emails, they told me that the position had been filled.

Pros: I enjoyed learning a lot about the tech stack from Grab, contributing to its ecosystem and communicating with the managers and the team to learn more about technical challenges and work culture. It was also very interesting to learn about the company's structure and the sharing sessions provided by interns and employees from other teams gave me an insight to what each team does.
Cons: Laptop equipment took 3 weeks to arrive, difficult to contact the mentors sometimes due to workload, working from home during COVID made it impossible to meet the team face-to-face and could not experience the office environment.
