Avoid if you value your time. Having completed the 4 stages of interviews, receiving positive feedback from each stage and being told I was for receiving an offer, I was ghosted for 2 weeks before being informed that there was a company wide hiring freeze. The hiring freeze was very unexpected and the communication was poor. I was told that I would be contacted again when roles open up. Within a week of being told this I seen the same role being advertised and when I contacted the recruitment team within Smarsh I was told this was a mistake. This role was not taken down for up to 3 weeks after this point. I was looking forward to join smarsh, all of the people I met in the interview process were nice and very knowledgeable. The engineers had a great attitude and were open for discussion about experiences rather than how some interviewers get into the semantics of code and definitions, they focused on the more important aspects of code quality, logical thinking and work management. (Aswell as some high level concepts) Overall I was disappointed with the communication but think I was lucky from reading some of the more recent reviews about the company.

Waste of time. They don't know the interview process themselves, unclear about number of rounds. Earlier they told me technical rounds and then hiring manager round . After I finished all, they said your feedbacks are positive and they may roll out offer or may take one more director of engineering round. They asked me to fly to Bengaluru for this round as they dnt want to take this round virtually. I had a 90 min discussion with the guy. Firstly he made me wait for 30 mins as at 12:30 pm he still hasn't came to the office, later in interview I can see his eyes closing many a times while I was talking to him. They are taking candidates very lightly I guess ( as others are also saying the same thing in their reviews)
