Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks.

First round was their AI screening round where you can select topics to be interviewed and relevant questions will be asked. Each answer will be allowed only 1 min 30 secs or so. Their so called "AI screening tool" is so bad. I answered randomly and I was still called for the second round.

The second round was even more worse. The interviewer just gave the question and muted himself. In the middle when I asked a doubt, he unmuted and I could hear another candidate talking. So he was conducting interviews in parallel. Also they asked a LeetCode medium question with only 15 mins allowed. If you did not already by heart the question, it is impossible to solve. Overall a very fishy company I was hoping I don't get selected. The recruiter communicates over SMS and not even whatsapp. Also their CEO looks like the guy from Tinder swindler. More like Job swindler. xD Also notice all the 5 star reviews in Glassdoor, I don't think any of them are genuine. If you check LinkedIn almost all their engineers have #OpenToWork badge. Says a lot I guess.
