Interview
Interview process was just 3 rounds. 1st round was a hacker rank test. 2nd round is technical round with developers and its easy to clear if you have minimum experience. 3rd round is managerial round.
The recruiter was extremely pushy in the beginning, constantly following up and trying to get me to consider the opportunity. However, as soon as I didn’t express interest, they completely disappeared. It feels like this behavior is more about the recruiter’s approach rather than Costco itself.
