Took about a month. Quite a lengthy process. All done remotely and the process was very through. Enjoyed it overall and appreciate the thoroughness. Technical questions were a bit tough not your typical data structure questions.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at TELUS (Noida) in Jun 2026
Interview
The process had four rounds over about three weeks. It started with a recruiter phone screen, followed by a technical coding round on a shared editor, then a virtual onsite with two algorithm interviews and a system design session. The final round was a behavioral interview with the hiring manager. Communication between rounds was prompt and clear.

Question 1
Asked to design a URL shortener and walk through how I'd handle scaling, database choice, and collision avoidance.
Pretty smooth. I had 2 interviews one with the director and one with the team. There was a take home technical challenge as well which the team looked at. Mainly soft skilled questions and then focus on the approach to solving the challenge. Everyone was nice.
