Process

The first round was a HackerEarth test, which was of medium difficulty. Following that, there was a Data Structures and Algorithms round, also of medium difficulty, and the interviewer was friendly.

The worst was the third round. The interviewer had perhaps already made up his mind or was not interested in listening. Funnily enough, he expected me to answer system design questions in a minute or so and perhaps had an objective answer in mind. He didn't bother to clarify the proper requirements for designing or at least listen to me when I was trying to jot them down. He gave me a simple linked list question, and perhaps the answer was what he had in his mind, so he decided that it was incorrect.

I like the company, but please choose interviewers wisely. A good company with a poor interviewer often loses good candidates.
