Tata Consultancy Services (North America) Software Engineer interview with resume-based API code

I expected a wide range of technical topics, but the conversation stayed close to my resume. The interviewer focused on what I had already listed and did not pull in much outside my background. My panel felt uneven. Some questions were very easy, but for me they went deeper into integration-style code, arrays, and Python basics.

That resume-first pattern came up again with AWS because I had a certification. They also asked about managerial topics, while the HR round felt more like a conversation than a checklist. In the technical interview, I had to write API code related to my project and give Git commands to show day-to-day familiarity.

Overall, it felt like they were checking both foundations and practical implementation rather than vague knowledge. I felt fairly tested on the claims in my resume, which made the experience feel more real, even though a few areas were harder than I expected.

Location: Hyderābād. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
