Software Engineer SDE1 Interview Experience - Chennai, Tamil Nadu
Process
After the OA and 1st round, there was no response from HR. I tried emailing HR and the recruitment team, but received no reply.
Now, I don't even know about feedback for my 1st round of interview, but I know I did well.
Even the interviewer, who was an SDE-3, seemed very uninterested in the interview. They didn't let me explain my solution, then rushed me with the dry run. There was a shadow interviewer, an SDE-2, who was nice and understood why my solution works.
