I applied online. I interviewed at Dell Technologies (Bengaluru) in Jun 2026
Interview
it was good as it was streamlined properly, Hr was humble in there response and helped in scheduling as per my availability, But i have to wait one complete day to complete my interview which could have shortened
Good and interactive. 3 rounds . Last one is techno manager round. But response from HR is less. Need to improve on that. Tight schedules. Coding and technical discussions especially on the projects.
Interview rounds were quick and medium-hard level, 2 Technical Rounds, 1 Mangerial Round.
Have to attend face to face interviews and not virtual.
DSA, LLD, HLD and behavorial aspects, all are evaluated thoroughly.
