The interview process consisted of four rounds, all conducted virtually via Team Meeting due to the COVID-19 situation. Each round focused on technical design and data structures questions. The entire process spanned over a month and was for a Front-End Full-Stack Developer role.

• Round 1: Data structures and designing a pagination component, along with general programming questions. The interviewer was good and listened patiently.

• Round 2: Data structures and designing a Bing search bar, with some general programming questions. The interviewer was good and listened patiently.

• Round 3: Designing a Ludo snake and ladder game. The interviewer, who was a manager, listened patiently. While she was arrogant, she provided some valuable feedback.

• Round 4: The interviewer was exclusively from the front-end side, lacking back-end knowledge. He was arrogant and impatient. The questions involved designing a Google Calendar layout, printing the top view of a binary tree, and explaining how streaming works.

Despite answering all questions in every round, I received a rejection email after the fourth round. It was heartbreaking and difficult to comprehend why I was rejected, as I felt I had answered every question correctly. I am still struggling to accept this outcome.

Regarding the interview process, some interviewers seemed to lack broader knowledge, being aware only of their specific area of technology.

My suggestion is: If you are hiring for a full-stack role with general skill requirements, avoid evaluating candidates solely on focused, single-technology design challenges.
