I applied through their web portal & got shortlisted for an online coding test. They assigned me a Hackerrank test of 1.5 hrs. The test comprised of 7 questions : 5 MCQs[Multiple Choice Questions] and 2 programs. The MCQs were in general related to Data Science. The 1st programming question was based on dynamic programming. The next question was related to creation of a model with respect to the given dataset. This model was expected to have at least 65% accuracy in the test dataset.
To tackle this interview round, one thing you've to keep in mind is time management. Otherwise, you'll spend a lot of time in the dynamic programming based question. My suggestion : take down the data science based question first, because it doesn't require much time (provided you know how to build a small & simple model), and then go for the other one. I did the mistake of investing a lot of time on the dynamic programming based question. Result : Couldn't solve it and also failed to pass the test cases of even the data science program. Hence rejected.

Mildly challenging and nice. I would probably reduce number of rounds, i had 4 of them. The first two were technical and third one was managerial. The last round was done for cultural fit.
I applied online. I interviewed at Fractal (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Sep 2025
Interview
2 technical rounds, in first round basic to medium questions were asked. There were some coding questions as well which you need to solve.
In second round, it was basically system design kind of round based on your projects
