I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at SmartStream Technologies (Mumbai) in Nov 2018
Interview
Simple words, Dont go there and waste your time , I got call from Consultany and after screening interview got scheduled.
Interview came and he asked me to write the program on Factorial number, I was shocked as nobody ask you write these programs on fresher level , I completed the program but then he ask me to write it using recursion , and yes, I was confused but wrote it at the end , after that he left the cabin and HR came and she asked me to leave.
I was disappointed knowing that I wasted my time and please you can not test the candidate knowledge just on basis of 2 programs and worst was interview did not have the courtesy , he left without uttering any word.
Please be cautious while appearing for interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at SmartStream Technologies (New York, NY)
Interview
Interview process took ages around 3 months. I was first contacted by a recruiter from an external company who was very cooperative and tried to get answers from the hiring manager for months who take easily 2-3 weeks to delay meetings continuously. After being said that all my interviews went well I received a rejection letter from their HR. Overall painfull and annoying experience and I am glad that I wasn't selected after all.
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at SmartStream Technologies
Interview
Initial call with HR. Then an in person interview with a senior developer. Focusing on both technical and business aspects. Then an interview with the country head. Finally salary negotiations and other formalities with HR
