I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sophos Knowledge Services in Mar 2025
Interview
I had given an interview for Sophos Knowledge Service Pvt. Ltd., which included two rounds:
The first round was an in-person technical interview, which I successfully cleared.
After that, I was given a task to develop a front-end website, which I completed and submitted.
The second round was a virtual technical interview, conducted by the Director of Sophos. This round also went very well.
The next day, I called the HR representative, and she mentioned that the Director was very impressed with my profile and said that everything was perfect.
However, she asked me to wait for a week for further updates.
After waiting patiently for a week, I reached out to them again — only to be told that they had decided not to move forward with my application and would be proceeding with other candidates instead.

Question 1
During the interview, they mainly asked technical questions based on my resume. Some important areas they focused on were:
SQL queries and database concepts
Difference between REST APIs and SOAP APIs
Difference between Angular and React
How routing is handled in React
How a chatbot can be implemented in a web application
Details about my internship projects and minor project
They also asked me to showcase the websites I had developed and explain my approach, technologies used, and challenges faced.
Additionally, they asked me why I wanted to focus on Front-End Development, even though I also have Back-End skills.
