The interview process was long after giving the online coding test , received result after a month . The interview was for engineering team but rounds were taken by researcher with 2 years of experience taking interview for 8 years of experience position and with 0 idea about system design and was unable to navigate as to what he wanted from the round .In short the rounds were waste of time because one the senior showed a positive signal for hiring but even after that got a reject.
