Software Development Engineer (SDE1) Interview Experience - Chennai, India

Process

I applied through a recruiter.

Hiring manager reached out through mail, then an OA. After passing the OA, I was called for onsite interviews.

Round 1 went well, interviewed by a senior (so friendly) and she asked behavioral questions and 2 DS (Graphs & LinkedList).

Round 2 went moderate with two amateur SDE1s who just got converted from intern to full-time. A very bad experience with them seriously, those both came from the same city and college with a very bad attitude. The amount of judging the whole time, God only knows how I suffered straight to the face.

Anyway, even after solving one fully and the other one with an inefficient solution as expected, they REJECTED me.

All the best to anyone reading this :)
