      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Lumen (Bengaluru) in Jan 2023

      Interview

      The whole interview process was done in 3 stages 1. Screening Round 2. Hackathon 3. Technical and HR discussion Screening Round: consists of 28 questions and should be answered in 1 hour. Hackathon : The total hackathon duration is 11 hours. Started with registration and an introduction of problem statements (web app development). A group was formed randomly with 10-15 members along with a mentor and all the team members had to interact among each other and had to develop a web app. This was a 6 hour interactive process from 9 am to 3 pm. After the hackathon, top 5 teams are selected and were asked to present their presentation. The winners were awarded with best prizes. This went for another 3 hours till 6pm. Also the best performers from the participated teams were selected by the mentors for the TR and HR discussion Interview: It was not totally an interview. It was just a simple interactive discussion with the interviewer, which went amazingly. I was questioned and tested on my communication skills, Spontaneity, interaction and adaptability. Also a little technical skills too. The whole hackathon including interview process happened for 2 days and the whole event happened virtually. And the results were announced within 4 days after the hackathon event
