Principal Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, Karnataka
Process
Virtual interviews, though the norm now, are more difficult, especially for open-ended questions like System Design. The Hiring Manager also seemed to be in a hurry, stating he had another interview to conduct.
Questions
Ola/Uber type of system where the expectation was a High-Level Design (HLD), but the question was too detailed, involving bits of Low-Level Design (LLD). And all of this in under 30 minutes.
