I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at UST in Jan 2026
Interview
The interview experience was smooth and relaxed. The interviewer was friendly and tried to give hints while solving the questions, which made the discussion comfortable and helped reduce pressure during the problem-solving process.

Quick Rejection and Harsh Response
I had a 30-minute technical interview where I was asked questions related to backend development, cloud, and general programming. I answered some fully and some partially.
At the end, when the interviewer asked if I had any questions, I asked a basic one about the tech stack and DevOps responsibilities. He harshly told me to ask the HR, which felt rude and unnecessary.
Just 5 minutes after the call, I received a rejection email. The whole process felt rushed and not respectful to the candidate.
There were,
One technical round
One managerial round. In the technical round asked about java core concepts, java 8 features and sql.
Managerial round was evaluation of analytical and communication skills.
