The interview process typically begins with submitting an application, which includes a resume, cover letter, and sometimes a portfolio or project samples. If shortlisted, the candidate may go through an initial screening stage, often conducted by an HR representative. This screening call, usually lasting 15–30 minutes, focuses on understanding the candidate’s background, experience, and interest in the role. Some companies also require an online assessment at this stage, which may include coding tests, aptitude evaluations, or technical quizzes. If the candidate passes the screening, they move on to technical or role-specific interviews, where they may be asked to solve problems, showcase their skills, or discuss past projects. This stage may involve multiple rounds, including live coding sessions, system design discussions, or behavioral questions. Finally, the process concludes with an HR or final interview, where salary expectations, company culture, and job responsibilities are discussed. If successful, the candidate receives an offer letter and proceeds with onboarding.
