I applied for Software Engineer's position by directly emailing my resume to the HR department after seeing a LinkedIn post with the #hiring tag. Within two days, I received a call from HR to verify my details and schedule the first round of interview.
The interview process consisted of four rounds:
Round 1: Coding.
Round 2: System design and technical questions related to my previous work.
Round 3: Managerial interview.

Explain how will u implement Brute Force logout mechanism
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at LoginRadius (Hyderābād) in Apr 2024
Interview
I had 4 rounds, two technical, one managerial, and an HR round. The technical rounds were very unique, I was required to implement an in-cache API in the first round and answer a couple of System Design questions in the second round. It was more like a real-time discussion for feature implementation. I loved that experience. Managerial and HR rounds were pretty good too. Interacting with the interviewers and learning from them was a great opportunity.
