## Application

If you have expressed interest in applying to Surya to your college placement department, you will receive an email with a registration link from us. Please register, and follow instructions outlined in the form exactly. Failure to follow instructions exactly will result in your application being disqualified.

## Coding Assessment

Our recruitment process begins with a coding assessment. At a pre-announced time, our team will be at your campus to conduct the coding assessment. You will receive an invitation to a GitHub repository with a few problem statements. You will be required to solve any one of these problems and push your solution to the `main` branch of the repository. The problem statements will be varied in nature, and will focus on different skill sets - pick the one that is best suited to your strengths. Please note that the problems are designed to simulate real world problems, and are not the usual DSA problems you may be used to. For example, you may need to build a Flutter app, or a command line tool, or a web service. If you have not built real world software before, it is not likely you will be able to complete the assessment in the stipulated time frame (typically around 4 hours). You will be able to use a search engine of your choice during the assessment, but usage of AI tools (of any kind, including AI code editors) is not allowed.

## Interviews

If you are successful in the coding assessment, you will be invited for a series of interviews. The interviews are designed to help us identify your strengths.

### Interview Guidelines

- No preparation needed
- We aren’t trying to trick you
- We don’t care if you get the right answer - we care how you get there
- It’s okay to be nervous - take a breath, calm down
- We want you to succeed!

## Internship

Candidates who are successful in the interviews will be offered an internship. The internship will last for 2-4 months, and will be a paid internship. You will be required to be in our office in Bengaluru full time for the duration of your internship. Our internship program is designed to enable you to become productive as a Software Engineer when you join us Full Time.

## Full Time Employment

Candidates who successfully complete their internship will be extended an offer to join us full time, as a Software Engineer. You will be required to be in our office in Bengaluru full time. Note that this is an in-office role - we do not offer remote work for this role.
