I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Backbase in Mar 2022
Interview
An initial HR screening round followed by an hour-long discussion with a fellow Engineering Manager in NL. The last round involved a Case Study Presentation before a panel (of 2 to 4 persons) and a Cultural Fit interview.
The entire experience was wonderful, to say the least! Each person I came across during the process (be it the HR Recruitment /Product Team) was very cordial, encouraging & thoroughly professional. This was a primary reason for me to choose Backbase. I really look forward to having a mutually beneficial experience with Backbase. Fingers crossed :)

Question 1
- My journey as a Professional

Overall easy and well structured, they will reach out and the interviewers are friendly and they want to know you better and some technical questions and problem solving, nothing out of the box
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Backbase (Hyderābād) in Sept 2024
Interview
I have been giving leadership interviews and I must say, Backbase has really followed all standards throughout the process. And complete process was candidate supportive and having positive intent of hiring. On top of that I never felt, I am not part of Backbase in this interview process. So kudos to complete team, who has in-visioned and crafted this inclusive and respectful experience.
