Mercari India – Software Engineer Intern Experience

Hi, My name is Thari Zephaniah. I had the incredible opportunity to be one of the first Software Engineer Interns hired by Mercari India. In this post, I will be taking you through my entire journey, starting from the initial interview process all the way to receiving a Pre-Placement Offer (PPO). Motivation To tell you a little bit about the company, Mercari is an e-Commerce company where users can buy and sell products. Since my sophomore year, I’ve been keen on Mercari.

Equipped with their constructive feedback, I was ready to put my best foot forward.  I approached the application process via a referral, confident of the personal touch it would echo in my candidature. This whole process began in November, and patience became my close companion as the process took somewhat longer than anticipated. This delay was because of the fact that the HR setup wasn’t still consolidated in India during the internship opening, leaving the Japan team to manage the… <a class="more-link" href="https://about.in.mercari.com/news/blog/mercari-india-software-engineer-intern-experience/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Mercari India – Software Engineer Intern Experience</span></a>

Off-site in May

At Mercari, we had an offsite on 3rd May.We enjoyed bowling, laser shooting games, and other team-bonding activities 🤝 After team activities, we went to Roxie to have dinner together. Off-site allows for more significant interaction with members of the team who are generally not on the same team. You may even discover a new side to your team members when you take a break from work.The Mercari office is increasing, but we value the interaction between team members. We welcomed new young members this month, and the office became even more lively! 😎 Where do you think is the best place to go on a team off-site? Tell me in the comments! #MercariIndia #Offsite This blog is the original post of our Linkedin. Let’s Follow Mercari India’s Linkedin!!
