      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Progress (New York, NY) in Jun 2021

      Interview

      I had total 5 rounds of interview and an offline project The interview were question were quite engaging and had good design problems to solve , would rank them as medium at max But the problem is after completing all the rounds including VP discussion and receiving positive response from all of the round, out of no we're I received a mail of rejection and no justification It was a interview of 4 weeks and complete waste of time ( especially not being justified on the reason of rejection ) , it's clear the team doesn't seem to know what they are looking for rather shooting in the dark and hoping something will stick

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Progress (Hyderābād)

      Interview

      was quite good when i joined, and the candidates were measured on all possible grounds, most importantly on ethic values. Now this is not the story at all and ever tom, disck and harry can get in if they are having personal terms with someone inside.

      Principal Software Engineer I Interview

      Nov 7, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Hyderābād
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Progress (Hyderābād) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      HR called and explained about the product, team and position, asked expected compensation etc. He was very clear about how much maximum compensation they can offer and kept everything very transparent though the entire process. He shared a coding assignment which needs to be submitted back in your own time. Telephonic technical follows if coding assignment goes well. Hiring manager calls and explains about the position and clarifies expectation from either sides. They make sure that there is no gap in communication, really impressive. Onsite face to face technical round, followed by coding in computer, where I was rejected as the APIs to be I was not comfortable with. Ideally two more (manager and director) technical rounds might follow based on performance. Overall the best interview experience I have ever had. All the people I interacted with in the company are equally competent and polite at the same time.
