Software Development Engineer (SDE) II Interview Experience - Bengaluru, Karnataka
Process
There are a total of 3 rounds: 2 coding and 1 LLD round.
In the first round, the interviewer acted like a supervisor and had absolutely no input. I misunderstood the question and wrote the whole code. At the end, they kept directing me in the wrong direction regarding where my understanding was flawed.
They provided a HackerRank question and simply sat there watching me work. By far, this is the worst way to interview. In other companies, they don't let you proceed until your understanding is correct.
