Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience
Process
The interview process consisted of 3 rounds: 2 technical and 1 techno-managerial.
The interview process was smooth and finished on time, but they lacked ethics and basic courtesy to inform candidates. I was done with all rounds.
I got a call from HR, and we discussed salary and expectations. However, they never bothered to call back after follow-up. Moreover, HR had called, stating this was an urgent position and they wanted to close it in a week.
Questions
Basic DS and algo interview questions.
Design-related questions: HLD and LLD.
