I was referred by a friend, and the whole process took about two weeks.

I received a call from HR and was given an assignment, which would serve as the basis for the first round of the interview. The assignment was rather straightforward and took about two days to complete.

Upon completing the assignment, I was asked to come in for the F2F rounds. The first round was a walkthrough of the assignment, for which I had deployed it to DigitalOcean. I had asked the HR contact to share this with the interviewer a couple of days before the interview itself, so the discussion would be more streamlined. However, this was not shared, and it felt like a waste of my time, money, and effort. Oh well.

After the first F2F round, there were two more technical rounds. The first tested core JavaScript knowledge, and the next tested design thinking. Both were very engaging interviews, with an intermediate difficulty level.

Following those was the Manager round, which included some general culture-based questions. After the four rounds, things seemed to have gone well, and I was looking forward to a positive response.

It was after this that the experience went downhill. During the interview process itself, the HR point of contact changed hands among three different people, leading to quite some confusion between rounds. It was hectic.

I was assured that the result of the interview would be shared with me the following day, a Thursday, but there was nothing communicated. I called my initial HR contact a few times on Friday, and he did not answer. Following that, I called on the Monday and Tuesday of the next week and emailed all three of my HR points of contact on Wednesday, asking for a reply. After this email to the third person, I finally received a response via email stating that they would not be moving forward with my application. I emailed them back asking for feedback or a reason, and I've been ignored since.

Just a note to HR: A candidate takes days off work to complete an assignment, takes days off to visit your office, and spends time and effort to join your organization. Ignoring calls and sending out reason-less rejection emails does not compensate for all of the above. A simple reason for the rejection would have provided some closure.

I was extremely interested in joining Swiggy. But in the end, the HR process was very disappointing and marred the image of Swiggy in my mind.

Anyway, good luck to you guys. :)

Moderate difficulty questions.

Have your JavaScript fundamentals in place before applying :)
