Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Hyderābād, India

February 1, 2021
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The entire interview process took place over Microsoft Teams, with each round lasting one hour. Interviewers ranged from stone-faced to very friendly. I had a total of four interviews spanning multiple days.

I received some very good feedback on technical areas lacking in my career from a few interviewers, while other rounds offered no feedback, leaving me waiting for them to be completed.

One round involved pair programming. The problem statement was quite lengthy, and it was fun.

The hiring manager's tone strongly suggested he had already found another candidate and was merely cross-validating me against them.

I have received no feedback from HR so far, even after one month, and am therefore considering that I did not make the cut.
