I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cohesity (Bengaluru) in Jan 2023
Interview
My resume was rejected by HR saying I don't have C++ experience. My resume clearly stated that I have 10+ years of C++ experience. Without doing the interview they concluded that I cannot code. May be they don't have the budget to hire or the recruiter is being laid off and are giving these vague reasons to not interview.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cohesity (Pune) in May 2026
Interview
Got call from HR after I was referred. 1st round Java basics + easy to medium DSA, 2nd round current project system design deep dive + System Design. I was given 2 choice for system design (1 was too easy 2nd was hard which I never encountered) I selected 2nd as it had more depth. It was very good discussion and I loved it and hoped interviewer felt that too. In end interviewer told best luck for next round. 3rd round was Manager round and mostly behavioural questions. Had good and healthy discussions with everyone. Finally got call from HR regarding confirmation.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
DSA question was very basic.
HLD round was good. They gave a problem statement from their current work and asked how would I approach the problem. This round went good.
LLD round: Interviewer was quite unprofessional. Unnecessary requirements in the problem statement which is not even a genuine use case in the industry. I couldn't solve the question here.
HM round: Felt like he already made his mind from Round 3 feedback and this round was just a formality.
Because of the unprofessional behaviour during Round 3, I am rating this as negative experience.
