I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UST in Mar 2024
Interview
Interviewer was in the call and kept on mute till the HR joined, it was like a rapid-fire questions.
Gave me few problems to solve (using streams, sql, basic dsa) but expected answer in seconds.
Seems they have already decided not to select, and for name sake they kept the interview.
Don't even start with HR process, was connected from consultancy even though I mailed them can't able to attend the interview they still kept the interview.
Felt I had a chance for second round, tried to check with HR no response, didn't even pick the call.
Anybody considering for Interview, they will show their true colours before even you join.
All the best.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
longest substring without repeating characters in the string "abcabcbb"
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.
