The interview process typically includes initial screening, technical assessments, behavioral interviews, and final interviews with senior management, focusing on skills, experience, and cultural fit. The interview process typically involves multiple stages: an initial phone screen to assess basic qualifications, one or more technical or skill-based interviews to evaluate expertise, and a final round focused on cultural fit and behavioral questions. This ensures a comprehensive assessment of the candidate's abilities and suitability for the role.
I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at ZS (Jalandhar, Punjab) in Aug 2024
Interview
It was a 2 round interview, with first round being technical based upon your C.V. and the case study that you solved and second round being the H.R. round. First round was very heavy on the guesstimates, aptitude and reasoning questions. Simple puzzles were also asked in the first round and second round was based on your personality and later few guesstimates too.
