I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Fractal in Aug 2023
Interview
It was an on-campus recruitment process. Consisted of an aptitude test (tough) followed by 3 rounds of interviews (medium difficulty). The interview had a Tech round, an Apex round, and an HR round.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Fractal (Mumbai) in Feb 2012
Interview
My interview process was consist of 3 Rounds. Two rounds were technical and one for HR. Technical interview was mostly based on the technologies mentioned in the resume. First round was the introductory technical round which was mainly to check the approach to problem solving techniques and also flexibility for new technologies.It also contain some basic technology specific question. Second round was core technical round based on my technologies that I have mentioned in my resume. It was very good and the standard of question was very nice. The best part is that all the questions are relevant to your technologies and work experience and you don't feel like drilling for a long time and if your basics are clear you can easily qualify it.
