DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
They have a terrible interview process. They give you a codebase where you are supposed to fix a failing test and its open-ended.
You can write the code and try to match the data and test would pass even if one record matches. Which means the function just hast to return atleast one valid response. After all the time invested and everything got a very good number of data matches and wrote modular code with clean code comments, proper package structure etc.
BUT THEY SIMPLY REJECTED THE SOLUTION ON MANUAL REVIEW.
The joke is :
1. Firstly the test itself is so badly written that it has no meaning at all. Even with one response the test would pass
2. They don't tell you what is wrong which clearly dictates that they expect everyone to write code as they write.
Clearly, there are bunch of engineers there who don't have anywhere else to go and hence just bossing around.
I WOULD STRONGLY ADVICE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
IDIOT QUESTION, WITH A MUCH MORE IDIOTIC RESPONSE.
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Real in Feb 2026
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.
