Groww

1. Online application

Candidates apply through Groww's careers page, LinkedIn, or campus placement drives, with resumes screened for relevant skills and interest in fintech. Referrals also play a meaningful role given the company's fast hiring pace.

2. Recruiter screening call

A recruiter discusses your background, motivation for joining Groww, and expectations around the role, location, and compensation. This call also gives a sense of Groww's informal, fast-moving work culture.

3. Online assessment

Engineering roles typically include a coding test, while business and product roles may have a case-based or analytical online test. The assessment is usually completed within a set time window shortly after screening.

4. Technical or functional interview rounds

One or two rounds with team members assess problem-solving, product thinking, or domain expertise relevant to the role applied for. Interviewers often reference Groww's own products to frame scenario-based questions.

5. Hiring manager or bar-raiser round

A senior team member evaluates ownership mindset, communication, and cultural fit with Groww's fast-paced, experiment-driven approach. Expect questions about learning from a past mistake or failed experiment.

6. Final round and offer

A concluding conversation, sometimes with leadership, wraps up compensation details before the offer letter is issued. Background verification typically follows once the offer is accepted.
