Software Engineer Interview Experience - Hyderābād, India
Process
It was a drive, and approximately 40 people were called in on a Saturday. Mine was a 12 PM slot, and I had 4 rounds of interviews.
After the first round, some candidates were asked to leave. The same happened after the second round. There were outstation candidates as well. Their interviews were scheduled a little earlier, as they had flights to catch.
It was 9:30 PM by the time I finished my third round. I was then called in on Monday for my Hiring Manager round. After my round, I went to meet HR, and I was made an offer.
The letter was rolled out within the next 10 days. Overall, 6 of us were selected, and the hiring process was very friendly.

The best thing about working with MNCs like Microsoft or Amazon (among others) is that if you want to work on something totally different or if you're not comfortable in your team, you have a variety of options to explore within the company.Cons: You will have a feeling of missing out on cash seeing the salaries of other startups at similar and lower levels, but eventually the stock components of stable companies catch up. Basically, you have to pay a price for the stability and balance you want. If cash is your priority, maybe this is not the best place to be in.
