Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
Really conversational and focused on the resume. Some behavior questions, but really easy to answer. The interviewer is the partner, and she is super nice. 20-min OCI interview, really normal and general.
Really drawn out- straight to callback but had to wait a while to get the interview scheduled. Had the interview and it has been a month since then with no further information. This is the case with many people. I think in 2025-26 they are unsure on how to approach the hiring cycle.
