The Process (6 Rounds Total) HR Screening Call: Basic discussion around experience and current role expectations. Hackerrank Test: Included multiple choice technical questions and a coding problem (focused on Android/DSA). Technical Interview: With a developer from Europe – in-depth questions on Android architecture (MVVM, DI, Singleton, Coroutines, Flow). Delivery Manager Round: Behavioral and technical questions about CI/CD, SOLID principles, Github workflows, and team dynamics. Leadership Round (Head of Engineering): A long, draining discussion that mostly repeated earlier questions and vaguely explored Ciklum’s projects. Final HR Round (Expected): Never happened. Was told the role is “on hold,” and then received inconsistent messages about being considered for a lower role (Senior instead of Lead), without technical feedback or closure.
