Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took four weeks.
There were a total of five rounds: HackerRank, followed by two DSA rounds, LLD, and HLD. For the coding rounds, the difficulty was LeetCode medium, and the LLD and HLD rounds were of medium difficulty. You need to focus on the process, explain each assumption, and be proactive in tradeoffs.
