I am a big fan of this company but their interview process sucks big time. This company should really look into this. I applied on instahyre. I got a mail from an HR (Lets name her K) sent a mail saying lets schedule a phone interview to discuss further. I was happy that I am getting a chance. She didn't call on the scheduled time. I mailed her politely asking another date. I didn't get any reply. I mailed her again after 3-4 days. No reply. Mailed again. No Reply. Almost 15-20 days went by. I contacted another HR (lets call him R) on linked in. He was a bit senior HR. I explained him the entire thing. Finally he started the process. I got the first task which I had to complete within 2 days. I did the task and submitted the code. I waited for 1 week to hear back from them. I reached out to R. It was new year at that time. So he told the team is on holidays etc. So I reached out to R again after 7 days. (14 days after code submission). He told told that K was taking care of the profile. After almost 2 weeks ( 30 days from code submission) I got a mail saying that I have cleared the task round. This time another HR (Lets call her N) contacted me. She scheduled a phone interview round which I cleared . She told me that they would want me to travel to bangalore for the onsite interviews. They arranged everything : flights, hotel and cabs. Thanks for that. I gave all the rounds.. all of them were more into low level design, coding best practices and high level design. They were no algo & DS question. I was surprised by that .. what I felt was that the focus was too much on best practices rather than analytical skills. Best practices can be taught in weeks. I gave all the rounds but sadly I wasn't selected which is fine. May be I have to improve on some areas but don't you think I deserve to know which areas I should work on. Checked with N regarding feedback. She told that K will give the feedback. Tried to follow up multiple times. It has been more than 20 days still no feedback.

the whole process was: screening CV -> online coding test -> technical interview -> pair-programming -> bar raiser (hiring manager interview) the gap between pair programming and bar raiser interviews could take up to a month. however, the wait was totally worth it as after receiving an offer, i got a chance to join their engineering boot camp.
