Director, Software Engineering Interview Experience
Process
Initial screening with a recruiter, then a screening with the hiring manager.
I was invited to the virtual on-site with several members of the team, spread across two days in 3-hour increments.
I completed my on-site with more conversations with the recruiter and hiring manager.
I was updated frequently throughout the process by the recruiter, and it was a very positive and informative experience.

- 1.0Toxic culture and pressure to mislead on social mediaSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeHyderābādAugust 7, 2026Pros: Nothing good, and it is a sinking ship.Cons: Too much pressure by HR Leader in India to write positive feedback on Glassdoor and post pictures on LinkedIn. LinkedIn has become like Facebook, and every day there is a fake post on LinkedIn from HR Leader to showcase positivity and mislead people. New grads should join only if they don’t have another option. Great leaders who have set the foundation; they were mistreated and have left. Worst culture set by Global CHRO.
