Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Publicis Sapient (Pune) in Feb 2024
Interview
I applied through the online portal and got a call within an hour. My first round was scheduled for ReactJS and JavaScript. Interestingly, the HR secretly shared preparation material that matched almost exactly with the actual interview questions. This helped me prepare well, and I cleared the first round easily.
The second round was another technical interview, this time focused purely on HTML and JavaScript. Again, HR provided similar preparation material, which turned out to be very close to the actual questions asked. I cleared that as well.
The third round was a managerial interview, which I also cleared.
After that, HR started salary discussions. Initially, they gave me an offer letter with a certain pay. However, they told me that just 3 days before joining, I’d receive another offer letter with a higher salary — a tactic to ensure candidates don’t get poached by other companies offering more.
The entire process was smooth, and I accepted both offers.
Total 2 rounds, both are technical. I was appearing for senior experience engineer(UI). One round was for javascript and another one for react. Difficulty level of interview is 3/5.
You need to have good understanding of both JS and React thoroughly

Interview
Had my worst interview experience today. The interviewer was rude, didn't let me finish, and abruptly ended the call saying brush up your knowledge while I was still thinking through the problem—even though we had time left.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Publicis Sapient (Pune) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of two technical rounds: one on React and one on JavaScript, followed by HR interaction. I cleared the first round, but did not clear the second. Due to compensation concerns raised by HR, I was asked to retake the second round. I completed it, but the HR representative ghosted me afterward, providing no update or explanation about the outcome. This Behavior very rude from they company's HR.

Question 1
The interview process included two technical rounds: one on React and one on JavaScript. Both rounds involved hands-on coding problems along with in-depth conceptual discussions. In the React round, I was asked to implement reusable components and handle data from APIs, followed by questions on lifecycle, hooks, and component communication. The JavaScript round included coding tasks along with deep-dive discussions on the event loop, local and session storage, performance optimization techniques, and browser behavior. The rounds reflected a strong focus on real-world web application challenges.
