How to Find Company Interview Experiences (and Judge Them)

Last updated: 21 September 2026 · By the Asuraa Team

Where can you find company interview experiences?

You can find them on the employer's own pages, on review platforms with interview sections, and through people who have been through the process. No single place is complete, so use two or three.

Here is a practical source map, in the order we suggest.

1. The company's careers page. It often describes the stages and what each tests, and it is the only source written by the company itself.
2. Interview sections on review platforms. Glassdoor's interview page invites people to share what a recent interview was like, and describes millions of interview questions and reviews.
3. AmbitionBox. Its home page says it offers interview experiences from candidates who have recently interviewed, alongside company reviews and salary tools.
4. People. Alumni, seniors and employees can tell you what the process looks like now, and what the team values.
5. The recruiter. Ask for the list of stages and the format of each, since recruiters usually share this before an interview.

How do you judge whether an interview experience is reliable?

Judge each account on five points: date, role, detail, agreement and source. If an account fails the first two, treat it as background only.

RippleMatch advises using filters for location and job function, and for interview information it suggests noting the number of rounds, the timeline and whether candidates rated the experience as positive, average or negative. It also calls Glassdoor one tool among many, which applies to every source on this list.

Why do dates and role details matter so much?

Because an interview process is not fixed. A company can change its rounds, its tools or its criteria as its team, its needs and its hiring plans change.

dfwHR's guide to judging Glassdoor reviews says reviews written during layoffs, mergers or leadership transitions may reflect temporary disruption. The same caution applies to interview accounts, so check what was happening at the company when the account was written.

Read only accounts for a similar role and level. A campus drive for freshers, a lateral hire and an internship interview can all differ, even in the same company.

How do you turn interview experiences into a preparation plan?

Extract the format first and the questions second. Here is a five-step method, which is our own editorial suggestion.

1. Collect five to ten recent accounts for your role and note the stages and their order.
2. Mark what repeats. If several accounts mention a written test, a coding round or a case discussion, plan for it.
3. List the skills behind the questions. Prepare the underlying skills, since exact questions vary from candidate to candidate.
4. Compare with the job description. The posting tells you what the team says it needs, and accounts show how that gets tested.
5. Prepare your own stories. Use your projects and internships for behavioural questions, as in our guide on how to prepare for a job interview in India.

Do not memorise answers from an account. Interviewers change questions, and copied answers tend to sound rehearsed.

What does a worked example look like?

This is an invented illustration, not a real company. You are applying for a junior analyst role, and you find eight accounts.

Five are from the last year for analyst roles, and three are older or for other roles. Four of the five recent accounts mention a spreadsheet exercise followed by a conversation about a project.

You would plan for that exercise and prepare a project story, and you would ignore the three older or unrelated accounts. If the recruiter's schedule shows a different format, you would trust the recruiter, since that is the current process.

How can you use interview experiences ethically?

Use them to understand the format and to prepare your skills, and do not use them to cheat or to pass on anything confidential. Being ethical also means being honest about your own work in the interview.

If you share your own account, keep it useful and fair. Describe the stages, the timeline and what you learned about the role, and leave out confidential test material or anything you agreed in writing to keep private.

If you have signed an agreement, read it first. We are not lawyers, so ask the company if you are unsure.

What do most guides on company interview experiences get wrong?

Most guides list websites and stop there. These are the gaps that affect your preparation.

• They ignore dates. An account from several years ago may describe a process that no longer exists.
• They chase question banks. Learning the skills behind the questions works better than memorising the questions.
• They treat every account as equal. Role, level and city change the process, so filter before you read.
• They forget the recruiter. The current process is best confirmed by asking, and most recruiters answer politely.
• They skip safety. A process that asks you to pay, or to move to an unofficial chat app, is a warning sign. Check the company with how to verify a company before applying in India.

FAQ

Where can I find interview experiences of a company?

Check the company's careers page, the interview sections of Glassdoor and AmbitionBox, and people who have worked or interviewed there, such as alumni. Ask the recruiter for the stages too. Use at least two sources, and prefer recent accounts for your role.

Are interview experiences on Glassdoor and AmbitionBox reliable?

They are useful but not guaranteed, since both platforms rely on candidates submitting their own accounts, so quality varies. Check the date and role, and look for points several people repeat. Treat each platform as one tool among many, as RippleMatch says.

How recent should an interview experience be?

We could not find a source that sets a cut-off. Prefer the most recent accounts for your role, and treat old ones as background because processes change. If the recruiter describes a different format from an account, trust the recruiter.

Can I ask the recruiter about the interview process?

Yes, and it is usual to ask about the stages, format and timeline. Keep it polite, and ask what to prepare for each round. If a recruiter will not describe the process at all, note that and weigh it with everything else you know.

Should I memorise the interview questions I find online?

No, use them to learn the format and the skills being tested. Interviewers change questions, and memorised answers can sound rehearsed. Prepare the underlying skills and your own project stories instead.

Is it okay to share my own interview experience online?

Sharing your own account is common, but stay honest and fair. Describe stages, timing and what you learned, and leave out confidential test material or anything you agreed to keep private. If you signed an agreement, read it or ask the company.

Final thoughts

Interview experiences are best used as a map of the format, not a script. Find recent accounts for your role, look for repeated points, confirm with the recruiter, and prepare your skills.
