Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Total Interview Process:

  • Phone Interview (coding and resume questions)
  • Video Interview (coding and resume questions)
  • System Design Interview
  • HR and Manager Interview

You only proceed to the next round after clearing the current one.

One interviewer in my second round was deliberately confusing me with the time and space complexity discussion. I think that the interviewer didn't even know that time and space are always calculated in the worst case. No proper feedback was given as to why I was rejected. In the System Design round, the interviewer was not even interested in my answers. He barely communicated. I personally think they're targeting people with 1+ years of experience. I was asked why I didn't have any internship experience or real industry experience.

Just practice Bloomberg-tagged LeetCode problems to clear the coding rounds.

My overall interview experience with this company was pretty negative (because of the lack of rejection feedback and the interviewers' behavior).

System Design can be High-Level Design (if you're unlucky); for me, it was a Low-Level Design.
