I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at UKG (Noida) in Dec 2023
Interview
The interview was a mix of technical and managerial. There were a total of 4 rounds, including an online assessment on HackerRank, followed by 2 rounds of technical and 1 managerial round.
Online Assessment:
There were two medium DSA questions and 6 git based MCQs. The test was time-bound and was an eliminator round.
Round 1:
The first round was mainly focused on basics and DSA. I was interviewing for a Frontend developer, hence I was grilled with deep JavaScript and Typescript-based questions. This was followed by questions on React and the optimisation techniques for web-based applications. There were JS-based output questions on async programming.
Round 2:
This was with a senior technical lead with whom we discussed a problem statement, and based on it, I had to design a solution and then implement the same. I chose React and implemented it. There were follow-up questions related to the design patterns used and their benefits/shortcomings. This was a good 1.5-hour round.
Round 3:
This was with a senior manager who mainly focused on my previous experience and my impact on the projects I have worked on. This was complemented with some security questions like CSRF, XSS, etc. Overall this was a good discussion.
HR Round:
This was a final 30-minute discussion where we discussed why joining the organisation and what the expectations are.
Online coding assessment on random algorithm and data structure questions. Then in person interview with basic html and sql questions, followed up by a white board coding interview. Problem was on the easy side. Function that receives two lists and returns the max between the two

Question 1
What is a tag in html. What is a left join in sql. Then technical discussion about the specific role
Overall the interview wasn't that much tough, you should know the basics of java and spring boot and Java memory management and it should be enough and in the end interviewer also asked some aptitude based questions.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UKG (Lowell, MA) in Aug 2025
Interview
Applied via a UKG recruiter. The process started with an online assessment that included 2 coding questions and 1 SQL problem. After completing that, I had a recruiter screening. The recruiter emphasized that their hiring process was “META-level” and that they bring on FAANG-level engineers. However, the salary offered was extremely low—honestly, even interns at big tech companies get paid more.
After the screening, I followed up but received no responses and was eventually ghosted. About a month later, I got an automated rejection email.
Overall, a very disappointing experience: lengthy process, unrealistic bragging, poor compensation, and lack of professionalism in communication.
