Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

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

The interview process took around 2 months. I was provided with comprehensive steps before each round that was very helpful during the process. However, I felt the overall duration of the interview process was time-consuming.

The rounds were:

  • First round: An online coding round.
  • Second round: A system design round.
  • Third round: A pair programming round.

The expectations were very contradictory: you are required to execute independently in a pair programming round and still get rejected for not pair programming and executing independently. They wouldn't give you enough time to think and kept asking you to think out loud. Some people like to think before saying their idea out loud, thus the instructions and expectations don't align well.

Questions

There were general Object-Oriented Design-based questions.
