Process
The interview process involved three rounds.
The first two rounds were technical interviews with engineers from the company. The final round was with the CTO.
While the interviewers were quite friendly, the entire process was brought to an unexpected halt without any feedback, which was unprofessional.

It's good to start off if you don't have a job, alongside continuing to find a job
Software Development Engineer • Former Employee
Gurgaon, Haryana, India

Pros: Nothing much here. I guess the freedom you get to learn on your own for the starting days is cool. After that, be a good slave and keep on working. Commit mistakes while you know inside that this is bad, and then remove those mistakes as your superior understands them now. Duh! Tubelight. So it's like, code bad things, remove bad things, repeat. No work-life balance, of course.
Cons: Baseless arguments. A weird way of promoting employees and restructuring teams. Not using employees to the company's advantage, even. If you are from a tier-1 college, you'll advance really fast. Otherwise, no matter your experience or skills, no one would even bother with you.
