I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Real (Mumbai) in May 2024
Interview
Worst interview process. Do not waste your valuable time interviewing for this crap company. Just like every other review here. They simply have a broken recruitment process. They will give you a home assessment but no matter how great code you write (I know it's great because it has been optimized and documented by AI). They will simply say others have written a better code than you. Your code is not readable and did not follow code standards. However in the technical rounds they will say the same thing and reject you for "bad coding" in the assessment. They simply will say your code doesn't have readability and it should perform within lesser time. But they will not give any specifics. I think it is a scam. They are not really recuiting but trying to find solution to their own problem which they do not know of.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Create a matched list of movies from internal and external data sources. (Very vague requirements)
Interviewed for a Senior Software Developer role. The technical round focused on multithreading and hashsets problem. I was able to solve both of them correctly and explain my reasoning clearly during the discussion.
Despite this, I received a generic rejection email stating they would proceed with other candidates. When I asked for detailed feedback, there was no response.
For senior-level positions, candidates invest significant time and preparation. A completely generic rejection without structured feedback reflects poorly on the hiring process. Transparency and professional courtesy should be standard at this level.

Interview
Overall smooth structure and clear next step. There were total of 3 rounds (DSA, System Design, VP Round) and all of them are highly technical. Best part is each of the round is 45min long unless the VP round which was 1 hr long. For the DSA round one can prepare with Leetcode Medium questions . A huge shoutout for the HR and entire team for quick updates and clear instructions on next step.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1 Leetocde style DP question along with a little tricky follow-up. If you are wellversed in DSA, you can easily solve it.
LLD (No full code was required, only talking about how to proceed and choice of design pattern was enough)
HLD
Theoritical questions on threading, multiprocessing, async programming.
I had my first interaction with the company through a call with an Indian recruiter. There was no introduction or context provided at the beginning of the conversation. The recruiter jumped straight into asking why I wanted to work there, followed immediately by a coding exercise that involved creating an endpoint. I was told not to worry about completing the exercise fully—but unfortunately, I never received any follow-up afterward.
