I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Compass (Hyderābād) in May 2021
Interview
The first round was outsourced to an interviewing company Karat. Apparantly we are not worthy of their time in first rounds. Second round was neutral and third round was really toxic. One lady without the slightest knowledge in DS and Algo asked me to write code in code pad. Once I finished she changed the requirement and claimed that I misunderstood her in the begining. I dont know how I misunderstood that since the problem statement was written at the top my function!!!!. Anyway that interviewer was a moron and ruined my day. The HR will try to impress you by telling that, they have people from google and microsoft joined them. Who in their right mind from Google or any FAANG will ever join this company that is outsourcing its interviews to third party firms. Little advice to the company: get rid of the morons who think they are better than everyone during a 1 hour interview.

Interview
Una entrevista con RRHH, una con el engineering manager y un live coding de DSA. No era en una plataforma asi que no se corría el código contra tests predefinidos.
Had a fairly simple technical screen, medium leetcode question. For full loop they had 2 system design and 2 coding along with a behavioral. I was rejected because they were looking for more experience. They were very fast with the results
