Process
There were five rounds: two DSA, one method-based coding, one manager round, and one system design. A five-round interview process like this usually means they want to evaluate coding ability, practical engineering skills, and collaboration, not just theory. Here is what each round likely means and what they will be testing.

May 14, 2025
Pros: Good compensation.
Food benefits.
Quarterly well-being reimbursement.
Cons: 1. Hire | Judge | Fire
2. EMs comfortably doing the work of scrum masters and not getting caught. If something goes wrong, hold the dev accountable and push him out!
3. No one helps others on the team; everyone is focused only on their own work.
4. Management fakes urgency, thinking, 'Let's push the team for the next few months and get the work done.' That's why they keep hiring.
5. Basically a cab company running on a large scale.
6. No research in terms of latest technology.
