Selected Interview preparation journey
Journey
I was casually connecting with HR professionals on LinkedIn when I came across Pouring Pounds (CashKaro)’s HR contact email in a comment section. I immediately sent a well-formatted email, and within about two days, I received a call from her. She then scheduled my first round—a TA screening—where she asked about my background and a few basic technical questions.
After that, I was sent a link to a Mettl online full-stack test, which was around 45 minutes long and consisted of 30 questions. Once I submitted the test, I followed up with the HR. The next day, I received the interview schedule at their Gurgaon office for 8th December.
I went to the office and attended the interview in the morning, and later that same evening, I received a confirmation call. They then asked me to submit my relevant documents. The wait between the interview and the selection call felt quite unbearable.
When I saw their office, it was a large and welcoming space, and the employees seemed happy and engaged. Seeing the environment in person made me want to be a part of the organization even more, which is why I felt a little nervous before the interview. However, the HR was very kind—she offered me a coffee and seemed to notice my nervousness. I was also tired, as I had spent the previous night at the hospital due to my grandmother’s eye surgery. Overall, it was a truly great experience for me.

I connected with HRs on LinkedIn and found Pouring Pounds (CashKaro’s) HR email in a comment. After sending a well-written email, I cleared the TA screening, an online test, and an on-site interview. The positive environment and supportive HR team made it a great experience.
