Feature 01 · Company research
A mock interview for the company you are actually applying to
Mentari builds a company-specific mock interview by researching, before each session, how the company you named interviews for the role you named: how many rounds, in what order, what they focus on and how hard they push. That research is combined with your résumé and the job description to plan the round, so a backend interview at a payments company and one at a consumer app are not the same interview.
Why generic practice falls short
Most mock interviews hand you the same questions regardless of where you are applying. But companies differ in what they test, in what order, and in how much they push. Preparing for "a software interview" is preparing for an interview nobody is going to give you.
The second problem is you. A question bank does not know what is on your résumé, so it cannot ask the question a real interviewer would: the one about the vaguest claim you made.
Three inputs, one plan
| Input | What Mentari takes from it | Effect on your interview |
|---|---|---|
| Your résumé | Projects, claims, numbers — and the vague lines | Questions about your own work, starting where the detail is thinnest |
| The job description | Responsibilities, required skills, seniority | The competencies the round leans on |
| Research on the company | Rounds, order, focus areas, how hard they push | The shape and difficulty of the round |
What Mentari looks up
Once you give a role and a company, Mentari looks up recent candidate reports for that company and role and extracts the pattern: the number of rounds and their order, the areas each round concentrates on, and the difficulty candidates describe. It takes about a minute, and the round is planned from what it finds.
If you paste the job description, the plan is sharpened by it. If you do not have one, Mentari works out what the role involves from the title and the company.
What it does not do
It does not claim to know the exact questions a company will ask you, and it does not hand you a leaked list. It plans a round in the shape and at the level that company is known for — which is what you can actually prepare for.
The other two things that make it different
