PhonePe has a five-round interview process: Data Structures and Programming Skills (DS and PS), machine coding, two Android interviews, and finally a Hiring Manager (HM) round.
The attitude of the interviewers was condescending, conveying a sense of superiority and that PhonePe is a very superior company. It is surprising, as PhonePe is known in the industry for its questionable engineering ethics.
During the DS and PS round, interviewers asked questions whose relevance to daily coding tasks was not clearly explained. When asked about the practicality of this knowledge, the interviewer provided nonsensical answers.
PhonePe appears to be a declining company in India. Their considerable attitude during interviews is therefore puzzling.
In subsequent rounds, interviewers displayed the same attitude and sense of superiority, showing interest only in information they already knew or had read about.
With extensive interview experience myself, I find PhonePe's interview process to be flawed and indicative of their engineering culture.
Judging candidates solely on a few Data Structures and Algorithms questions sourced from GeeksforGeeks lacks merit.
Overall, I recommend careful consideration before applying to PhonePe, as many other reputable companies offer better career opportunities.
In the so-called DS and PS round, the interviewer asked me some GeeksforGeeks questions, like finding if two strings are anagrams or not, and finding the largest sum subarray from the given array.
For the Android interview, the interviewer asked some RecyclerView questions and was only interested in listening to what he wanted to hear.
