Interview
First Interview is telephonic screening where they ask basic questions to test your domain knowledge. After clearing that you are invited to interview in Mumbai office (expenses covered). Fist challenge was to make apis for a social media platform. (create user, follow people, post, view timeline, view home). For this 2-3 hours were given. All the following interviews were more of a discussion than a formal interview. There's one pen and paper based round in which you have to write pseudocode. Interview hierarchy will follow Tech Lead > CTO > CEO.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Crowdfire
Interview
1st round was a coding test conducted on HackerEarth. It consisted of 4 questions out of which 2 were easy and 2 were difficult.
There were 4 F2F interviews. Interviewers asked standard questions from GeeksforGeeks so interviews were on the easy side.
But overall interview experience was highly negative as the interviewers were not communicating effectively.
One interviewer didn't even tell his name or his work and just started giving questions and when I tried to explain him my solution he told to stop explaining and said he could understand it on its own. I think he was a bit rude and was not able to explain questions nicely.
