Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
Technical Round: No intro, directly asked about my projects, asked my preferred programming language but denied to ask questions in that language. The interviewer was in a hurry, asked a simple DSA question, but made an environment where I couldn't solve it.
Questions
