Scaler Academy Review

Here’s what our Scaler Baishali Ghosh had to say about the online program, "I applied to Amazon for the role of SDE-2, and got an opportunity to interview with them. But in spite of having learnt the basics, my knowledge about system design was severely lacking, and I got rejected in the last round. A product-based role presented itself in the form of Foyr where I worked on the development of a cutting edge interior design software.

He helped me become better at making convers...

For Founders Anshuman and Abhimanyu, it was their love for computer science that brought them to IIITH. The entrepreneurial bug caught the duo early in 2008 while still on campus which resulted in them starting their own ventures "Daksh" - a home automation system prototype, "Campus Bhopu" - a precursor of sorts to Facebook, along with their bactchmate Jayraj Bhattacharya. Although their ventures were a success, after graduation they went on to pursue corporate jobs where Anshuman was hired by Facebook and Abhimanyu joined Fab.com. Four years into their respective jobs, the duo decided to quit in 2014, and founded InterviewBit .  With their vision of bridging the gap between university education and industry requirements which became apparent after interviewing multiple candidates in their respective companies, they launched Interviewbit in 2015. IB which Abhimanyu refers to as a "massive public library of programming problems" which is a suc...
