I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sigmasoft in May 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of three rounds.
L1 focused on assessing technical fundamentals like OWASP, vulnerability types, and secure coding concepts.
L2 was a hands-on round where I was asked to identify and exploit real-world web and API vulnerabilities in a lab setup.
L3 combined technical depth with managerial questions, including scenario-based problem-solving, risk prioritization, and communication with stakeholders.
Overall, the process was structured to evaluate both depth of knowledge and practical application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I cleared all interview rounds successfully.
L1 covered fundamentals like OWASP Top 10, secure coding, and application security basics.
L2 was a hands-on practical round where I demonstrated exploitation techniques such as IDOR, SSRF, and misconfigured access controls in a real-world-like environment.
L3 included both technical and managerial discussions, where I explained my approach to threat modeling, remediation strategy, and communicating risks to developers and leadership.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sigmasoft (Bengaluru) in Mar 2023
Interview
I had cleared multiple technical and HR rounds of discussions. Post clearing all interviews, the HR team asked for a long list of documents and we had provided the same. Prior to providing the documents, we had the HR discussion on all points including the role budget and the HR team agreed to the candidate expectations. On providing all the documents, the next day the HR team informed there is a budget constraint and mentioned they will not be releasing the Offer Letter. The HR team and management is directed to stop such unprofessional practices. Also, convey the role budget information to the candidate prior to scheduling interviews and not waste candidate's and company's time. Moreover, if a budget constraint persists, there is no need to ask for interviews, candidate documents etc.
