Process
First, a telephonic round. This was followed by two onsite technical rounds. There was also a hiring manager round, followed by a telephonic conversation with the director.
The experience was really disappointing and completely changed the company's image for me. Although the interview process itself is good, a few of the people I interacted with were very rude. Almost all the interviewers were late, and for both telephonic conversations, no one showed up the first time the interview was scheduled.
The HM and the director acted like they were doing you a favor by talking to you.
Questions
Basic DS algo questions. The process was more focused on system design.

Becoming worst startup to work for
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
April 28, 2021
Pros: - Friendly environment.
- Freedom to introduce new tech into the stack if you have enough knowledge about it.
- Politics doesn’t stay here for long.
- Actions will be taken on management if they are not up to mark.
Cons: IT support staff is worse; they act like they are helping, but they are not helping by any means. Issues will be pending for months without any action.
Lot of developers left in the last 6 months, and there are 10-20 orphan projects nobody is taking care of. Some random engineer will be assigned without any knowledge.
No QA folks will be assigned. Developers get asked to do QA and DevOps work, ending up wasting 2-3 days for nothing. There is no new learning happening here.
Beta environment is terrible and highly unstable. Everyone in the team is aware of the issue, but no one is taking action from the senior level engineers. It was asked in Tech All Hands on a video call. Even the CEO is not aligned with this ask; he upfront asked developers to take care of that job. He is okay with developers wasting their 2-3 days on QA work, even if tech work is a 1-day job.
HR will promise you while joining that ESOPs will be allocated on day 1. But ESOPs will not be granted on day 1. Management will wait for at least 7-8 months. The problem is that funding in that 7-8 period is not going to help your money grow. This looks like cheap strategic work.
In the last 6 months, 8 full-timers and 1 contractor left, and 5 contractors joined. This is degrading the quality of the company by a big margin.
13-inch MacBook to developers and 15-inch to designers. Don't understand why you can't give a 15-inch MacBook to developers when there is an ask.
