How to research a company in 15 minutes before your interview

Know the rounds first
Open hirastra.com/companies and check how that company hires: which rounds come and what each one tests. Now you know whether to prepare for a coding round, a technical interview or HR.

Find one recent headline
Search Google News with the company name in quotes, then click Tools → Any time → Past month. Pick one fresh fact (a new client, a product launch, an acquisition) to use in your answer. Replace Infosys with your company.
```
"Infosys" (deal OR launch OR acquisition)
```
Read the investor presentation
Listed companies publish an investor presentation every quarter showing their main business segments, client industries and focus areas. Skim a few slides. For a startup, read its About page, engineering blog and the founder's recent LinkedIn posts instead.

Combine the recent fact, a project where you used a skill from the job description, and the team or product you would contribute to. Practise it out loud once. End the interview with a genuine question about the role.
```
I read that [company] is [recent fact].
My [project] used [skill from JD],
so I can contribute to [team/product].

Question to ask: What does a fresher's first 90 days look like in this team?
