I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arcesium (Bengaluru) in May 2021
Interview
Interview consisted of:
- Machine screening round: 2 hour hacker rank test.
- Face 2 face screening round: coding, general CSF
- Coding + low level design: design twitter table schemas
- high level design + general CSF: general CSF questions, deployment, etc..
- HM round: discussion on some problem statement
The process is very lengthy and very tedious. Lot of questions get repeated in many different rounds. The interviewer start asking new questions when I'm still answering previous questioned asked.
HM round was the worst. I'd explained him my current project, it took him 20 minutes to understand and he was asking questions which clearly proved he did not understand anything on my current project. This took around 60% of the time. Then he asked a system designing questions (mainly fault tolerant I think), which I had asked multiple follow up questions to understand what he is looking for and what needs to solve, This almost took the interview time and I was not able to provide the solution on the same.
The Leadership folks have less clarity here in understanding and communicating well. Not recommended!

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arcesium (New Delhi) in Sept 2021
Interview
The interview process was good. All my technical discussions like Problem Solving, System Design, LLD went well. The HR team told that your selection is almost final and there will be a Hiring Manager round which is not elimination round, This was also told by interviewer who took Hiring Manager round. But after Hiring Manager round , they did a debrief and rejected me. This kind of behaviour is not expected, as this is giving false hopes to candidate of selection. Also it wastes the time of candidate, as Hiring Manager round was not required if the feedback of other interviews was not good.
