Packt, a renowned publishing company specializing in technology-related books and learning resources, typically follows a structured interview process to select candidates for various positions within the organization. The interview process at Packt usually consists of several stages designed to assess a candidate's skills, experience, and cultural fit within the company. Here's a summary of the typical interview process at Packt:

We were given an essay to write about ourselves and what makes us who we are. After the essay we were called in a different room. Whether it was based on the essay or random selection was unclear to us. We were again given two formal letters to write and a very simple logical reasonin test. We were told we would be contacted by next day evening. I recieved a call on the said day but missed it by seconds. When I called back the receptionist asked me to call back the other day. On the other day when I could finally get to the hr I was told I wasn't selected. There was no reason given. It is impossible that i was called intially to be told about my unsuccessful attempt in a walkin. It is however plausible that i was called to be present next day but they got enough candidates already. I wish they have given me a rather truthful answer than a silly excuse which i was sure to be not true.
