Interview
very prolonged/long interview process with multiple levels of interviews. Even after that, you are not hired for a specific post. You have to again go through a fitment interview. And it is just pure luck and need that you are picked into a group of your line of interest.

Question 1
7 - 8 rounds of interviews.
* 3 Technical rounds related to only technical writing
* API round - most difficult for people who haven't done it
* Reverse interview - another challenging round where you need to ask questions and get to know.
Interview process was quick and very professional. Result declaration takes a lot of time sometimes.
Questions were mostly technical and situation based. It was a difficult round.
However, it was a great experience.
