Process
There are mainly four stages:
- The first round is an online assessment, which takes 2 to 3 hours to complete.
- After one month, there will be a one-hour Guru interview.
- The next week, it's a one-hour guide interview.
- The last round is the finish line event to match a team.
The whole process is quite long, as you have to wait for HR to arrange the interviews.

Known Company, But Directionless
Entry Level Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Well-known company.
Good experience.
Cons: The company has no direction. As soon as the next big thing comes out, they will try to shift the whole company to do that one thing. They are always late to the party and competing with companies that actually hire top talent. Layoffs are commonplace, and unless you are working on the current thing, you are at risk.
