Software Engineer ( Senior MTS) Interview Experience - Chennai, India

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The recruiter called and arranged for an interview. They initially proposed three interviews in a single day, but I needed a breather and scheduled two interviews for day one and one for day two, conducted virtually.

  • Round 1 focused on problem-solving in data structures, similar to LeetCode problems.
  • Round 2 involved an architecture discussion about my current/previous work and general architectural concepts.
  • Round 3 was a system design exercise for an online ticketing system.

A week later, I followed up and received an email from a different recruiter stating they had considered someone else a better fit. I was encouraged to contact them in the future for any openings, but I wanted specific feedback to aid my other preparations. Unfortunately, I received no reply.

It was disappointing to undergo three rounds of interviews for all candidates, experience a waiting period for shortlisting, and then not receive proper feedback.
