Interview
Interview Process consist following
1. HR screening
2. Technical Assignment
3. Technical 1
4. Technical 2
5. Final offer
Although I clear all the rounds but the offer they quote me is less than expectations. In HR screening already mentioned about x% hike on current ctc but what they are offering after clearing all the round is same salary which I am working on as base + 5-6 lakh of esop which they buy back yearly.
Talking about the process of interview is pretty smooth and they have people and team with good knowledge and overall the experience is great to talk about tech and problems

Hey
Thanks for sharing your feedback. While we're looking to hire for this role and have been interviewing several candidates, we've not yet released an offer for this role.
Would love if we could connect on this and understand the disconnect. Happy to get on a call and get feedback to understand what went wrong, how can we make this better and the reason for the disconnect.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at STAGE (India) (Noida) in Apr 2024
Interview
Process
- I was approach by a recruiter.
- Recruiter shared the assessment with me.
- The assessment mentioned creating a my List feature (similar to watchlist) which allows user to save their favourite TV shows and movies.
- Included bunch of requirements like feature should be optimised, integration tests to be written, having a CI/CD deployment pipeline.
- The application created should be deployed.
- All these requirement and you need to finish the assignment in 7-8 hours( on a single day).
Feedback
- After completing the assignment (giving my 7-8 hours), I emailed them all the details (github and deployed app link).
- After 4 days I receive feedback from the recruiter saying it didn't went well. No description of what went wrong.
Lesson Learned
- After reading few blogs/posts on the internet, I found out how few companies post interviews for finding solution to their existing issues/problems. This is what I feel like might have happened in my case.
- Will never do such online assessment in the future.
