Interview
Was well organized. basically provide a detailed plan, and be able to describe it, for a given scenario. You can not really practice for it. Just do your best, take your time, ask questions.
It was pretty easy and standard and enjoyable overall. The recruiter was kind and responsive throughout the whole process. The hiring team was fair and reasonable and asked good questions
Had an intitial screen call with the recruiter and was asked the basic intro questions. My screener was very friendly and conversational and I answered honestly and she happily answered any questions that I had.

Interview
I applied online for the Technical Consultant, Software Engineer role. Within a few days, a recruiter reached out to schedule a 30-minute phone call, which was described as an initial HR screen.
The call started with them asking about my background and experience based on my resume. I answered truthfully and gave examples of what I've done in past roles. They also asked the classic "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" question. I prepared for it and gave honest but professional answers (e.g., strength in problem-solving and learning new tech quickly; weakness being sometimes over-focusing on details, but working on prioritization). The conversation felt conversational and not too intense. The recruiter seemed engaged and didn't raise any red flags.
I was surprised when I received a rejection email the very next day. No explanation beyond something generic like "we've decided to move forward with other candidates."
From reading other Glassdoor reviews, Pariveda typically has a multi-stage process: recruiter screen → technical assessment (like HackerRank or aptitude test) → behavioral interviews → case study → possibly more rounds with leadership. It can take weeks and is quite thorough/selective. So if you make it past the first call, expect several more lengthy steps. But in my case, it ended right after the HR phone screen, and the odds seem to drop sharply after each round.
If you're interviewing here, don't over-stress the initial call—be yourself and speak honestly about your experience like I did. But just know the process is very competitive, and even a "good" screen doesn't guarantee moving forward. The slim chances after the first round seem real based on my experience and what others have shared.

Question 1
The one question that stood out (and they spent some time on) was: "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" They followed up by asking for specific examples tied to my resume/projects.
