I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Last9 (Bengaluru)
Interview
The job description was super vague from the start and they didn't seem clear about their requirements. i ended up wasting my time over two - three weeks. Should be avoided. this role is meant for a freelancer or an agency, not full time for sure.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Last9 (Bengaluru) in Jul 2023
Interview
Applied through LinkedIn, Shortlisted through a mail confirmation. Formal first round begins with understanding of company and its products. If you are from DevOps/SRE background don't apply. After first round an assignment will be given. Even if you complete it on time they won't consider it. I see this company is not hiring as of now. Referrals may work as usual, try that way.
