Software Developer Interview Experience

Process

Everything started with a call by a recruiter who fixed up a phone interview the very next day. Answered many technical questions related to the domain that I applied for. Did pretty well and landed up with a 1:1 interview less than a week later

The 1:1 interview was pretty good, interviewers are professional and know what they are talking about. However they really can make the candidate feel nervous. So I got rather slightly flustered and answered some of the technical questions badly. Might be why I did not get the offer after all.

One advice to candidates will be to brush up on whatever technical skills that are stated in the JD, and stay calm and composed throughout.
