I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Anand Rathi (Bengaluru) in Aug 2025
Interview
The entire process took around 2–3 weeks and consisted of five stages:
1. HR Screening (15 min) – Quick discussion on background, notice period, and expected salary.
2. Online Assessment (60–90 min) – Java coding (Collections, Stream API), SQL queries, and a small REST API problem.
3. Technical Round-1 (45 min) – Core Java (OOP, multithreading), Spring Boot REST design, Hibernate/JPA.
4. Technical Round-2 (45 min) – Microservices architecture, AWS (EC2, S3, RDS), Jenkins CI/CD, Angular basics.
5. Managerial/HR Fitment (30 min) – Project discussion (recent changes, production issues), career goals, and final CTC negotiation.

Question 1
One key question was to describe the overall architecture of my current Java Spring Boot microservices project and the latest enhancement I personally delivered (for example, implementing JWT authentication with AWS S3 storage).”
