7 round of Interview - Online Coding Challenge Live coding SQL round Manager Round After clearing managerial round again same kind of discussion with US team for next two rounds. It took about two months. Salary not offered as per market standards. So declined. Very slow Interview process and feedback. Looks like company don't have clear goal. Clarify on expected CTC part before going for interview, otherwise so much time will be wasted.

Happy to share a recent interview journey that pushed me to reflect on my strengths, sharpen my technical thinking, and revisit my architectural decisions Round 1 – Codility (DSA) Started with an online coding round. Solved a data structures and algorithms problem — it was time-bound and tested logical thinking under pressure. Round 2 – CodeLive (DSA + Communication) Faced the similar DSA problem, but this time with an interviewer watching me code live. The key here was not just solving it, but explaining my approach, trade-offs, and edge case handling clearly and confidently. Rounds 3 & 4 – Onsite (System Design) This was the most exciting part — I was given a system failure scenario and asked to identify weak points and propose improvements. Another discussion focused on how to add intelligence to a service — an interesting blend of system thinking and creativity. Round 5 – Onsite – Managerial Round A reflective round — I spoke about my strengths, areas I'm actively working on, and walked through the architecture of my current project. Also answered, “Why Guidewire?” — and got a chance to align my goals with the company’s mission. Round 6 – Final Round with Director Focused more on my CI/CD practices, understanding of deployment pipelines, and where I see myself contributing. Also discussed my tech interests and how they can shape impact. Every round was thoughtfully structured — not just to test technical depth, but to understand how I solve, communicate, and grow.
