Entrevista
One of the worst interview experience, they will call you and schedule interviews on weekdays. You must be ready to wait in their office, HR says panel is not ready all the time. They don't plan to finish within a day but call you on some other day for further rounds (weekday). I attended at Manyata tech park Bangalore, I finished my first technical round it was quite easy and cleared it and went for second round another day. This time the interviewer itself was struggling and he didn't look confident. I even saw him shivering while writing something on the paper. This round was also easy and I answered all the questions and wrote programs. He was okay with them. It lasted for 55 mins to an hour. I thought everything went well. After this round HR calls me and asks how was the interview, I said it was really good. She asked me to leave for the day and informed me that she'll keep me posted. I sensed something here. Since it was referral, I got to know next day that I was rejected from my friend who referred me. It was a real shock for me! I don't understand what was there in the interviewer's mind. Real waste of two precious days for me. Such bad ethics from one of the best named company in the industry.
One round of telephonic interview was done by some junior HR person. They asked basic question about where i live and how will i commute. No technical questions or anything from my resume.

I would not recommend applying for internal/direct positions at the moment if you do not want to waste your time. Based on my experience, I am not convinced that they are actively hiring for these roles.
I applied for two different positions with about a two-month gap between them. In both cases, I went through interviews but was ultimately rejected. For one position, I was told I was rejected because I did not have sufficient leadership skills for a leadership role. For the other, which was an engineering role, I was rejected because I had too much leadership experience. The reasoning was quite confusing.
At the same time, the same roles were open for contractors as well, which makes me wonder if the intention was primarily to hire contractors rather than internal employees. It is unclear why the positions were also advertised for direct hires.
The interview process itself was also disappointing. The questions were very basic, communication with HR was slow (responses often took 3–6 days), and scheduling interviews was difficult. They were not able to provide flexible time slots for interviews.
Overall, based on this experience, I would recommend carefully considering whether it is worth investing time in this process.
It was a on campus recruitment drive in college ,
First there was an online assessment followed by two technical rounds and one HR round
The technical rounds were mostly dsa and sql oriented
It was pretty straightforward
