Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
Got an employee referral.
Interview consisted of two rounds for me:
- Round 1: Normal LeetCode stuff.
- Round 2: Random, useless discussion with the hiring manager.
Round 3 was supposed to be with the director or someone, which did not happen.
Questions
Round 1:
- Merge intervals
- Palindromic linked list
Round 2:
This was supposed to be a LLD round. The hiring manager began my interview, questioning my job switches in a sarcastic way. I felt very uncomfortable at this point, and I could sense she had made up her mind to reject me for my job hops and conducted the interview for namesake.
She just threw lots of theoretical questions at me, like the difference between POST and PUT, monolithic vs. microservices, Docker, etc., to pass the hour. Very disappointed with the process.
