I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Harness (Bengaluru) in Apr 2018
Interview
Bad experience and a worser panel. Solved all the questions asked and the HR did not even bother to inform me back. On top of this they said they needed a different skillset. My resume was with them and it was a waste of my time. Post this i interviewed and accepted another offer. I would say not a good place to interview or join for very experienced people.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Harness (Bengaluru) in Jun 2024
Interview
There are 3 technical rounds.
Round1 - problem solving and DS algo
Round2 - Low Level Design
Round3 - High Level Design
All rounds were scheduled within span of 2 weeks.
Interviewer was immature in round1. He literally started shouting and showing that he is very smart.

Recruiter call, algo coding, architecture, more algo coding, director/vp meet n' greet.
I didn't even attempt to get past the recruiter call. Most recruiters are not the brightest bulbs and she was definitely on the dimmer side. Couldn't answer basic questions around culture, internal workings and couldn't deal with any kind of questioning around why Harness is not flexible with work arrangements. Attempted to gaslight me. Overall seems like they're 5-10 years behind the times. Butts-in-seats mentality.

Would you be willing to work in an office three days a week.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Harness
Interview
The recruiter was not able to correctly describe each interview, they present system design as behavioral.
The offer was only verbal, as it was told, "they can't share the offer in writing", and not that competitive.
At first I was given few weeks as an offer expiry date, which was reduced to a few days after only a few days.
After asking for offer renegotiation, the recruiter stoped responding.
