I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Principal Financial Group (Pune) in Aug 2022
Interview
Smooth interview process, 2 rounds of interview. Technical round was quite easy with general discussion on cloud and data sovereignty and residency. If one has worked on the tech, then one could easily crack the interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at Principal Financial Group (Des Moines, IA) in Feb 2023
Interview
Initial phone call with recruiter happened about 2 weeks after applying. Standard questions but I got the impression that they have a slightly odd work culture. At the end of it, the recruiter indicated that for the next step I will be invited for a 2 hour interview. The company has since disappeared. Very unprofessional - I don't mind a 'No' but if you wasted my time at least have the courtesy to follow up. Speaks volumes about your company's culture.
