First stage involved an online technical assessment, mostly MCQs on Java and data structure. Followed by an interview, mostly questions on past experiences and projects, a small portion on behavioral questions.

I had a disappointing experience with the interview process for the Software Engineer role (NEXT) at NCS. The process was not well managed. There were supposed to be two interviewers, but one joined slightly late and the other joined very late. As a result, the second interviewer missed my introduction, my technical background, and my work experience entirely. When he finally joined, he asked me a question about Python, but his audio was very muffled and difficult to hear. I politely asked him to repeat the question, and he responded in a rude and dismissive manner by saying, “Nevermind. No more questions from me.” That left a very poor impression and felt unprofessional. I was also told that the role requirements had changed at the last minute, and that the actual skills needed were very different from what had been stated in the job description. That made the process feel misleading and disorganized. Overall, the interview experience did not reflect a respectful or well-coordinated hiring process.
