I received a call from the recruiter after completing the CodeSignal screening test and was invited to attend the drive on 21st Feb 2026.
During the drive, the first round was a coding round where they provided a laptop. There were two distinct coding questions to solve within one hour. The second question was assigned only after completing the first one. The platform used was CodeSignal.
I was able to solve both the questions, and all the test cases passed successfully. However, I still received a rejection after the round.

Interview
I have attended interview drive on 7th November. There are three rounds i got selected for both rounds technical and 2nd round for 3rd round was managerial and he have asked me about my previous projects i told him everything but still at last he asked me are you good in java (if I am not good then how u pass last two rounds) and no other question he asked. I think they only doing this drive for marketing as they have open new GCC as after clearing 2 rounds and also no incorrect answers in manager round they have rejected. Suggestion - If you don’t want to select seriously then don’t waste candidate time as someone is giving whole day
