I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at State Street (Vellore) in Dec 2019
Interview
The interview had 3 rounds:aptitude,technical and HR.It took the whole day and it became very tiring.They made us wait like for 4 hours for it to start.I did well I made it to last 6 people out of 18 but then was rejected and they took only 3.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

Basic introduction
• Discuss your background, projects
• Questions like:
• Why Descript?
• What do you know about our product?
• Salary expectations
👉 Tip: Be ready to talk about audio/video editing, AI tools, or content workflows since Descript is in that space.
Interview process consisted of:
Logical/Puzzle interview -> Phone screening -> take home project -> Interview with managers
The main thing that made this process so unenjoyable was that it took place over 4 months (Early december to early march) which is unacceptable for an interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You have a flashlight and 8 batteries. There are 2 good batteries and 6 bad batteries. For the flashlight to work it requires 2 good batteries. Assuming you don't know which batteries are which, what is the minimum number of attempts you need to find the two good ones, assuming you get the worst case scenario?
