Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
Interview process:
- Machine coding
- DSA
- System design
- Manager
I was given 1 hour and 30 minutes to submit working code for an LLD problem, which I completed within the time limit. I could not complete one out of seven requirements.
In the evaluation round, the interviewer started finding mistakes, such as suggesting a repo class should be there and that ConcurrentHashMap could be used instead of Map. It seemed like the interviewer had a fixed solution in mind and was just comparing my solution to theirs. The interviewer appeared inexperienced and arrogant.
