I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Freshworks in Aug 2020
Interview
Recruiter from Freshworks messaged me on Linkedin for the opening. I filled the form and then he asked for the introductory round on phone. Recruiter told me it will be just 35-40 min telephonic interview, but interview was taken on zoom by 2 managers which lasted for 80 minutes. Both the interviewers were not keen to listen. They kept me asking about the topics which I have not worked upon. Also on design questions, I kept asking the questions about requirement, but they didn't bother to answer. From the experience, I could not understand how the company has 4.3 rating on glassdoor. Work culture looks totally toxic.

The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Freshworks (Bengaluru) in May 2021
Interview
The interviewer seemed very biased and disinterested in the conversation. This was one of the worst experience i had. I normally don't give feedback for the interviews but this time i am giving as i feel the interviewer was behaving bit bossy also the question were little orthodox like reverse integer then float and then next palindrome number. I feel this is not the way one should be judging a candidate having 8+ years of experience. I told all the answers and also wrote the code but still negative feedback from your side that makes me think that the interviewer was not interviewing to take candidate.
