Recuiter was rude, had bad interview experience. It's a servive based company and taking high level of multiple rounds interview including assignment, coding test, 2 system design interview, client interview and what not. Didn't like the process and some interviewers. Also the process took more than expected time.
Interview was lengthy but it was good experience it based on dsa java concurrency interview lasted for 2 hrs and interviewer was very nice it was onsite interview executor and multi threading was more highlighted
