I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Compass (Bengaluru) in Apr 2021
Interview
Round 1: (Karat.com) External Interviewing agency:
Part 1: Verbal Q & A in which I was asked me to chose 2 categories out of 4(OO, Testing, Cloud Computing, System Design) . 2 questions where asked from each chosen category. the questions where good.
Part 2: 1 or 2 coding questions, related to Data structures, they ware Easy to Medium, category.
over all the interview process was good.
Round 2: (Google Meet) with Compass Senior Engineer - Coding Round (Algo):
I was given a question related to recursion back tracking approach. I quickly started coding, failed to understand the tricky part and come up with a buggy solution (fails for backtracking required input datasets). Understanding the issue towards the end, wrote sudo code and walked the engineer through it (due to lack of time to code). for which I was rejected.
Overall the process was really good, I liked it. I also got to see the detailed feedbacks from each round. I can say one of the detailed and clear interview assessments I have seen so far.

Interview
After applying, I got a call from the recruiter for initial phone screen, it went very well and she told me that I should expect an email with the next steps soon. I never recieved any email from her. I followed up couple of time, but she did not revert back.
Very bad experience

Experience in Cloud, DevOps, Java
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Compass (Buenos Aires) in Jul 2025
Interview
Una entrevista con RRHH, una con el engineering manager y un live coding de DSA. No era en una plataforma asi que no se corría el código contra tests predefinidos.
Had a fairly simple technical screen, medium leetcode question. For full loop they had 2 system design and 2 coding along with a behavioral. I was rejected because they were looking for more experience. They were very fast with the results
