Software Developer Interview Experience - New Delhi, India

Process

It all started with a HackerRank test with 4 questions, which I passed with a 100% result.

This was followed by an HR interview and finally a Skype interview with two interviewers who ruined my experience.

Firstly, the interviewers weren't able to speak English properly, making it really hard to understand them.

They asked the first question, which I coded successfully, but the interviewers never engaged me in conversation while I was coding the solution, as it seemed they were in a hurry.

The second problem statement wasn't well-written and was hard to understand.

They weren't able to answer my questions regarding the problem statement and instead replied, "Read the problem statement."

They weren't communicating properly at all, which resulted in a bad solution to the last problem.

The next day, I received a rejection email.

If this is the way you conduct interviews, then it would be better not to work for such a company.
