I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Branch International (Bengaluru) in May 2026
Interview
The interview process was okay. But, they asked mostly vague & generic Data Engineering based questions. It felt as if the interviewers were expecting specific answers to these generic questions! The senior interviewers themselves couldn't properly & confidently answer my doubts about the org, which didn't instill much confidence about the org & people.
