I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Motive (Bengaluru) in Oct 2021
Interview
The interview process had 4 technical rounds and 1 hiring manager.
First, System design.
Second, DS
Third, DS
Forth, Domain round
The problem with their methodology is they will evaluate all those rounds at the end. If they won't hire a candidate you didn't clear one of those rounds, what's the point of taking all the rounds? They clearly don't value the candidate's time.

Question 1
App-based system design.
Leetcode average level DS questions.
Overall amazing interview experience. Total 6 stages and every stage was properly organised into a pdf file before the interview. To the point and relevant questions were asked. No random trivia or puzzles.

Question 1
Asked me to discuss about the most difficult work I had done so far
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Motive in Aug 2025
Interview
7 rounds of interview spanning over a month, each eliminating and at the end a nondescript rejection mail with no feedback whatsoever. Had to redo the machine coding round cause the api they came with was broken. So essentially 8 rounds and still not even the courtesy to explain the rejection. Apart from the last system design round which was at best average, I aced all the other round. 1 recruiter screening, 3 coding rounds, 1 machine coding, 1 system design, 1 hr manager round. Apparently they like to pretend they are Faang with none of the courtesy or professionalism.
