This experience describes a lengthy and challenging campus placement process for a "well known company" (details not specified as Shadowfax, but relevant for a detailed, recent, multi-round experience). The candidate applied for a position with a promised package of 12-13 LPA post-internship.
Round 0: Resume Selection
The initial screening involved resume selection, for which the candidate had a decent score.
Round 1: Online Assessment
Selected candidates proceeded to an online assessment.
Round 2: Group Discussion (GD) Round
Approximately 5-6 candidates from the college were selected for a group discussion with students from other colleges. The GD involved technical questions from various subjects.
Round 3: Technical Round 1
Only the candidate was selected for this round. Questions included aptitude, scenario-based problems, and general inquiries about projects (not in-depth). This round lasted about 30 minutes.
Round 4: Technical Round 2
Scheduled on the same day, this round delved deeper into the candidate's projects, a coding question on matrices, and several OOPS concepts. This round lasted 45 minutes.
Round 5: Data Science/Python Round
This round focused on Data Science and Python. The candidate, having learned Python in the second semester, managed to answer about 70% of the questions. In the last 10 minutes, the candidate attempted to highlight ongoing major projects in ML algorithms and expressed willingness to learn further before joining. This round was about 30 minutes.
Round 6: Final Interview
After being selected for yet another interview, the candidate was met by four interviewers in the meeting room, which caused surprise and anxiety. The experience description implies this was the final round after which the candidate was ultimately rejected.
Despite completing numerous rounds, the candidate was not selected, finding the rejection disheartening after such an extensive process.
