Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, Karnataka
Process
The ideal problem-solving round involves choosing a GeeksForGeeks or LeetCode Medium question and asking you to solve it.
The problem with this round was that the interviewer panel's laptop could not share a question. After 10 minutes, the interviewer asked me to share my screen, and he would dictate the question to me.
By the time the question was explained, 15-20 minutes of the interview had already passed.
He had expected an optimized solution, which obviously requires extensive practice.
Overall, the HR was also unresponsive after this round and provided no updates.
