There are multiple rounds, consisting of a Phone screen round, an HM Round, an Android Core round, a Design System Round, a Ds/Algo round, and a second HM round. Every round has a gap of around 2-3 days.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Motive
Interview
The interview process is pretty straightforward and consists of multiple rounds, usually around four to five. You'll be asked to solve data structure and algorithm problems in the programming language of your choice. The questions are typically of medium difficulty, similar to what you'd find on LeetCode's mid-level challenges.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Motive in Jun 2025
Interview
Motive follows an unnecessarily long and drawn-out interview process, consisting of the following stages:
1. HR screening
2. Hiring Manager interview focused on work experience and relevant questions
3. LeetCode-style data structures and algorithms round
4. System design round
5. Take-home assignment
6. Final round discussing the assignment and additional technical topics
While the interviewers are generally friendly and supportive, the HR process needs significant improvement. There are often gaps of 4–5 days between rounds, during which no updates are provided—you’re expected to follow up yourself. Their communication is minimal and unresponsive, and they fail to offer feedback after each round, which should be a standard practice. Instead, candidates are left on hold for days or weeks, only to be rejected without clarity or closure. They need to work on this part.

Question 1
Max questions are conceptual technical. Easy to average difficulty.
