I applied online. I interviewed at UNext (Bengaluru)
Interview
Overall, the process was smooth and HR was supportive throughout. The only improvement would be informing candidates about the next round earlier, instead of notifying them on the same day
The interview process was quite underwhelming and poorly structured. The interviewers didn’t seem to have a clear understanding of how Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) actually works or how performance metrics should be evaluated. Instead of discussing frameworks, strategies, or results, most of the conversation revolved around questioning basic numbers without context, which made the experience feel disorganized and unprofessional overall.

Question 1
The Interviewer Names were - Sunil & Ashwtam (Second one, I'm not sure but was something like that)
They questioned the authenticity 13% conversion rates — which is a significant result, especially in the EdTech sector where India’s average conversion rate is usually below 3%. I explained multiple times that the 13% was a weighted average, derived from India’s 2% and the Rest of the World’s 25% submission rates.
Despite this, the interviewers somehow couldn’t even calculate the average between 2% and 25%, which comes to around 13%. At one point, one of them even mentioned that 2% of 180 is 32, and I honestly just sat there wondering how they’re even running a company with that level of understanding.
Instead of discussing the actual strategies, experimentation framework, or hypothesis-driven approach that led to those results, they kept circling around basic math errors and irrelevant points. What could’ve been a great technical conversation about CRO ended up being an example of poor analytical capability from the interviewers themselves.
It was disappointing to see people evaluating a CRO role without understanding the fundamentals of data analysis, averages, or conversion metrics — especially in a company that claims to be data-driven.
It's a very quick round started with intros from both sides, seem to be a very comfortable interviewer easy and calm going finally answered the questions asked and finished the coding questions.
