Process
I went through a "cognitive" type test before the interview. These weren't DS/Algo questions, but more like pattern recognition. For example, given a sequence of numbers, what's the next number?
This was followed by a virtual interview, and I was later ghosted.

- 4.0Work-Life Balance & Cutting-Edge TechSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeHyderābād, Telangana, IndiaAugust 22, 2025Pros: As long as you are part of the right business unit, you will be seeing a lot of cutting-edge tech to learn from. Work-life balance is unmatched if you are within the internal or product-based business units. Some client-zero business units may have the same or similar WLB.Cons: Although you will see cutting-edge tech, most of it is behind red tape. There's minimal funding for sandboxing. There are enough year-round hackathons to work with new tech, but when it comes to project production-level implementations, most business units flake out.
