The process was disorganized and frustrating. Instead of TCS reaching out directly, I was contacted by a third-party recruiting firm. They were very pushy, even pressuring me to change my resume to include details I wasn’t comfortable with. In the end, they submitted the version I had written, but not without resistance. I was never given a proper job description, only a set of vague bullet points with no real context. My initial conversation with TCS was mostly focused on whether I would be willing to go into the office rather than my qualifications. After that, I was passed to the client for the actual interview. It was only at that point that I finally learned what the role really involved, and it turned out not to be a fit. Overall, the lack of transparency, limited information, and poor preparation support made it very difficult to know what I was walking into. This approach doesn’t set candidates up for success and left me with a negative impression of the process.

Technical Rounds (4 levels of Interview): A mix of conceptual and practical problem-solving. ​Round 1/2: Fundamentals of Linux, Networking (TCP/IP), and Scripting (Bash/Python). ​Mid-Rounds: Deep dive into Kubernetes, Docker/Containerization, and API troubleshooting. ​Final Rounds: System design, SRE/DevOps best practices, troubleshooting live issues, and experience with monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Kibana). ​Manager/Culture Fit: Discussion on handling on-call duties, release management, and teamwork. Very good interview exposure and clear communication from HR about Shift Timings and Roles and Responsibilities, if you are looking for good opportunity with good tech exposure, LotusFlare is great Company to work with. All panels are technically great and overall great experience.
