The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UST (New York, NY)
Interview
2 technical rounds followed by 1 hr round.
After knowing my expected CTC they suddenly added one more round after HR discussion of 1hr 30min just to reject the candidature. I had a great feedback from the architect in my 2nd technical round but over all it was really bad experience and a complete waste of time. So I would suggest you not to go ahead with the processes as it would only remain as a regret for you.
They suggested to process my profile for another client but I rejected the same.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at UST in Jan 2026
Interview
The interview experience was smooth and relaxed. The interviewer was friendly and tried to give hints while solving the questions, which made the discussion comfortable and helped reduce pressure during the problem-solving process.

Question 1
longest substring without repeating characters in the string "abcabcbb"
Quick Rejection and Harsh Response
I had a 30-minute technical interview where I was asked questions related to backend development, cloud, and general programming. I answered some fully and some partially.
At the end, when the interviewer asked if I had any questions, I asked a basic one about the tech stack and DevOps responsibilities. He harshly told me to ask the HR, which felt rude and unnecessary.
Just 5 minutes after the call, I received a rejection email. The whole process felt rushed and not respectful to the candidate.
There were,
One technical round
One managerial round. In the technical round asked about java core concepts, java 8 features and sql.
Managerial round was evaluation of analytical and communication skills.
