I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Freshworks (Chennai) in Jan 2017
Interview
The process was very professional. Had a mix of case based activity. Review about a product and how it can be made better. Discussion about designing a product and the approach you would take for it. Followed by a cultural fit check.

Question 1
How would you go about redesigning your most used product.
Painful. An assignment was given after the first interview with a very short delivery time but the feedback for the assignment took weeks. The next call was rescheduled multiple times before eventually being cancelled

Interview
Worst Interview experience i have ever experienced, I was interviewed for a role and completed all the rounds, HR didnt even have a courtesy to acknowledge with progress, everytime i had to followup , then there was an update that there will be another round, After going through the entire interview process, spending two and half weeks time with this process, they least the HR can do it to acknowledge what the status of the application is, its either a reject or accepted. Wish they had more professionalism towards people who are giving interviews. I have never come across such a bad experience.
Two Technical Rounds - Mostly Technical or design aspects. They will explain on kind of applications Freshworks have, typical load or traffic on those applications and non functional requirements they are looking at.
