Interview Kickstart Reviews 

The deep explanation of DSA concepts made even the toughest topics easy to understand and really helped strengthen my foundation. Omkar’s videos were especially clear and insightful. On top of that, the career coaching, resume-building support, and mock interviews gave me the confidence and preparation I needed for real-world interviews. I’m truly grateful for the guidance and highly recommend it to anyone looking to level up their career!

Expert from MAANG sharing expertise and approach to real world problems, and bringing level of individuals up which is key to be successful in these organizations.

I will recommend this for level up , and ready for market with all tools available to support individuals.

Course material and the content are clearly explained in simple understandable format.

Hi, this is wonderful content as it covers all aspects of mastering the concepts and the interview prep for some top paid roles in the industry. I have done 40% of the content and look forward to the mock interviews and other stuff with the industry experts

Hi,

I took the Engineering Management Interview Prep program from Interview Kickstart.
Since i had a very short time span to prepare for the interviews, the team was kind enough to open the entire course content which helped me to watch the relevant content which was required for me.

I liked the weekly structure of the content which helps folks to have a commitment and follow a schedule.

I utilized their resume review service where they tie up with a 1:1 session with a mentor who is competent enough to review the resume and help provide relevant suggestions.

Since the track was engineering management track, i liked the recorded videos sessions on the leadership interview questions and how to answer these interview questions.

The biggest benefit from the platform was my mock interviews with the experts. Finding mock interviews for Staff+ candidates is a bit difficult. The IK operations team was able to find really good interviewers from the US and from top tier companies who were brutally honest in their feedback. The feedback helped me in doing course corrections appropriately.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks
Arul

UPDATE: I've literally never experienced a more terrible company than this one. In addition to having spammed my emails, calls, and linkedin messages after leaving this review the head of operations at IK decided to constantly call me on a Sunday morning until I picked up. He called repeatedly FOUR separate times! I finally picked up and it turns out he was trying to bribe me to take my review down. What a terrible business.

ORIGINAL COMPLAINT:
Absolutely the most exploitative and shady company offering data structures and algorithms courses. I gave them my email one time, and now I get constant spam—emails, calls, even LinkedIn messages—because they apparently can’t be bothered to comply with basic legal standards or provide an unsubscribe button. Look up the CAN-SPAM Act and be ashamed!

great content. everything is organized. I had mixed experience with instructors. They have good knowledge and handle doubts well. Some of them teach mechanically, which could be an issue if you are not prepared for the class.The
course is well paced with a mix of complex and advanced topics. Its definitely not for everyone. If you are looking to crack FAANG interviews, this is the course for you. If You have prior CS experience, it will be smooth.

It helped my basics to be good in AI. Teachers are good. Regarding course contents, i would insist with neural networks, that the section be divided into 2 or 3 phases, because each phase needs some time for students to assimilate what has been taught. First phase on computer vision, second phase natural language, etc. Atleast one week off after each phase or AMA section on that phase.

Interview Kickstart exceeded my expectations in every way. The curriculum was incredibly comprehensive and perfectly structured to prepare me for tough FAANG interviews. The instructors were phenomenal—knowledgeable, patient, and always ready to help clarify difficult concepts. Special mention to the support staff who went above and beyond, offering continuous assistance even after my official support period ended. Thanks to IK, I gained the confidence and skills needed to succeed. Highly recommended!!

Interview Kickstart offers an excellent and insightful learning experience. The mock interviews are highly effective, providing valuable practice that significantly contributed to my growth. The preparation materials are comprehensive and well-aligned with the expectations of MAANG companies.

Interview Kickstart (IK) is a solid choice if you're looking for structured guidance to prep for technical interviews. The platform offers a huge amount of content, so it definitely requires some serious commitment to get through everything.

I really liked how the courses are divided into different categories, making it easier to dive deep into specific concepts. The best part? The coaching experts provide great support, helping with resume building, LinkedIn profile optimization, and overall career growth.

A big plus is the lifetime access to recorded content, which means you can always revisit materials whenever you're gearing up for another round of interviews. The system design classes are especially impressive, with a detailed breakdown of how to approach problems in real interviews.

If you're looking for a structured, expert-led program to help you ace your technical interviews, IK is definitely worth checking out!

I had never interviewed for an Engineering Manager role before and honestly didn’t even know what to expect or how to prepare. With a demanding full-time job and increasing responsibilities, I was struggling to carve out time and was feeling pretty frustrated. Interview Kickstart’s EM program provided exactly the structure I needed — the material was focused, the mock interviews simulated real scenarios, and the feedback helped me course-correct before it was too late. The resume and LinkedIn support played a big part in getting interview calls. Huge thanks to the entire IK team — I truly recommend this program to anyone serious about landing their dream role. If you commit fully, it works.

Interview Kickstart has been a game-changer in my upskilling journey.

The content is thoughtfully structured and dives deep into concepts that are critical for excelling in tech. The instructors and support teams are knowledgeable, approachable, and always ready to help.
It’s been a rewarding experience that has significantly strengthened my problem-solving and system design skills.

Highly recommended for anyone committed to continuous learning and growth in tech.

I am looking to switch to AI/ML domain and I am from electronics background. I found out that most AI/ML roles require you to clear a software engineering interview round. I was recommended Interview Kickstart by a friend. I really like the course content and all the lectures by Omkar. Really helps to get the problem solving methodology. Also, there is a good condensed selection of problems that help you reinforce the learned concepts. I am half way through the course and still to take the interviews. Hope to have a good experience here as well.

The depth and quality of learning in the Interview Kickstart (IK) programs are truly outstanding. Each session demonstrates a strong focus on fundamentals, delivering complex concepts in Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA) and System Design with remarkable clarity and depth.

What stood out to me was not just the content, but the way it rekindled a foundational understanding of core engineering principles. It inspired a renewed interest in learning and problem-solving from first principles—something that’s invaluable for building scalable, high-quality systems.

I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to strengthen their technical depth and elevate their problem solving & system design thinking.

Interview Kickstart’s AI/ML Switch Up Program has been engaging and insightful so far. The concepts are well explained, and the weekly hands on exercises help in reinforcing the concepts learned. Useful for gaining both theoretical understanding and practical skills,

As feedback on the course content and videos provided by IK, the level of detail and the depth of the core concepts covered in the videos are truly mind openers. I have been Maths student ever, read every book of algebra at that time, enjoyed and used to cherish it but never understood the true meaning or use case of it in real life. Until, I saw the videos, use of metrics, what it represents and how it could be used to represent a pattern and drive a logic. This added more interest in watching videos. Each session has been carefully crafted to open up new perspectives and enhance understanding, which has been beneficial for my learning journey.

The mock interviews are really helping in boosting the confidence and taking away the fear of interview.

However, only one concern I have is that I found, though the videos are extensive but sometimes overly long and thus time-consuming. While the thoroughness is appreciated, it can be challenging to complete the course within a reasonable timeframe. Perhaps a more trimmed version in some cases would help us finish the content within timeframe.

At last, I would really like to complete this session with atleast one good offer from a good company like Microsoft, Google, Atlassian and others.

I am thankful for all the guidance being shared so far.

Scam they will play all foul game with you

This is the best way to prepare for any technical interview. The content is well organised, and the quality of the materials is world-class, especially the lectures from Omkar. I tried to attend the system design and coding interviews before with many other materials and YouTube videos, But this training helped me to clearly understand the gaps and improve the way I approach each problem.

Also, the domain-specialised training approaches it differently, fine-tuning the material to offer the best interview experience.

Loved this platform.

We can get Mock Interview with software Engineers from product based companies which helped me to crack the interviews
