Process
The whole interview process was smooth and very well organized. Multiple rounds of interviews started with the Talent Acquisition Coordinator, followed by an interview with the Hiring Manager, which was then followed by a take-home assignment. You would be given five days to turn over the completed assignment. I submitted early, however, it took a few weeks for the team to review it, as they were held up with some high-priority work. Finally, I got a call from the Hiring Coordinator asking for a few hours of my time (4-5 hours) as I was remote. Usually, after the previous round, you would be called onsite. After finishing that, I was again asked to speak with a few other team members. Most of the discussions in the interview were around Java concepts, data structures, regular interview questions found on LeetCode/HackerRank, etc., Docker, and cloud integrations. After talking to around 6-7 people, I got a call from HR. They offered a good package close to my expectation.
The interview process was really well organized, and I was always informed about what was next, which was great.

- 2.0work reviewSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluruMarch 31, 2026Pros: I worked here for 6 to 7 months. They provided access to online learning platforms like Udemy.Cons: A Lack of "Why": It’s hard to stay driven when the company’s goals and "big picture" aren't clearly communicated. Without that vision, the culture feels a bit disconnected. The "Deep End" Onboarding: Joining the team was a bit of a struggle. There wasn't a real plan, mentorship, or even a basic walkthrough of the product to help me get my bearings. Self-Taught, but Directionless: While I had access to Udemy, I was essentially left to train myself. Without a roadmap or guidance from leadership, it was hard to know if I was even learning the right things for the team’s needs. Sidelined Talent: It was frustrating to repeatedly ask for "heavy lifting" or critical tasks and be kept on the sidelines. After six months, it felt like my skills were being significantly underutilized. Management & Feedback Gaps: Communication with leadership was a one-way street. Instead of regular check-ins or constructive coaching, I was met with an abrupt request to resign for reasons that didn't align with my experience. Thin Healthcare: The health benefits don't provide much peace of mind, and the coverage is quite basic compared to what most modern companies offer. Daily Logistics: Small things add up—not having commuting support and having average-quality meals at the office made the daily routine feel much more draining than it needed to be.
