Principal Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, Karnataka
Process
One round of technical discussion from California.
Then, two rounds of coding interviews.
Interviewers from India had no knowledge of the technology they were hiring for and asked random, unrelated questions. The coding questions were copied from GeeksforGeeks, and the interviewer was fixated on one solution he knew.
The HR then disappeared and never responded. There was no courtesy call to inform me whether I had made it or not.
Questions
The first round was on the technology area, design, architecture, etc.
The second and third rounds covered random topics such as Docker architecture, distributed computing, and GeeksforGeeks problems.
