Android Developer SDE I Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

I got short-listed through my resume followed by an assignment, which I had to submit in 2 days. There were 3 rounds. The rounds were scheduled with an interval of 1 week.

  • PS/DS
  • Android & Kotlin
  • Hiring Manager Interview

For the first round, 2 DSA problems were asked. The problems were easy-medium level. A large part of this round also included discussion about the assignment, previous work and experiences, major projects, etc.

For the second round, discussion was entirely based on Android and Kotlin, covering:

  • Jetpack Compose
  • Jetpack libraries
  • Architecture components
  • Dagger Hilt
  • Room
  • Retrofit
  • SQLDelight
  • Ktor
  • etc.

Projects mentioned on my resume were discussed in detail, as well as previous work.

For the third and final round, mostly cultural fitment questions were asked, e.g.:

  • WFO/WFH
  • Previous work and experiences
  • Your most challenging project
  • How long will you work at this company
  • Joining date
  • etc.

I believe I can say that I received positive feedback from all the interviewers. About 10-15 minutes after the last round, I received a call from the HR about my thoughts for this round. I said, "It went great based on what I've collected". They replied that they'll collect feedback from the hiring manager. I haven't heard from them since. There's no rejection mail either. Completely ghosted. I tried to follow up on email and LinkedIn just to be sure. Complete silence. I'll just recommend not to waste the candidate's time. A clear feedback (either positive or negative) is the least you can return.
