I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Freshworks (Hyderābād) in Jan 2021
Interview
**DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS** Highly unprofessional or fraud HR I have ever encountered. The similar experience from the same HR was faced by 3 of my friends.
After completing 4 rounds of interviews, HR will discuss the package and ask us to wait for package approval. Then their fraud comes into play. No response to calls, messages, mails whatsoever. They won't atleast communicate to candidates about the status after wasting our efforts to this fraudulent behaviour that too after package discussion. It's highly unlikely to happen to 3 of us in a single month. BE AWARE and DONT TRUST FRESHWORK HR'S.
Had 4 rounds of interview excluding the screening.
1. DSA and Problem Solving. - Leetcode Medium Questions
2. LLD - Feature Flag system
3. HLD - Youtube comment section design

Not a very supportive interviewer.
Was asked to share leetcode profile, and then interviewer pasted the questions in meet link. Not much chance provided to discuss approach and thought process. Was told to solve the question right away(interviewer) also asked how long it would take to solve the question.
