Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online.

Five rounds:

  • Logical coding
  • Coding maintenance
  • Hiring manager interview
  • Behavioral round
  • System design evaluation assessing problem-solving, code quality, communication, leadership ability, and architectural thinking across real engineering scenarios.

Before everything there would be a phone screening round.

Questions

Designing Amazon locker boxes which could be placed in shops, malls, and so on.
