I applied online. The process took two weeks.
I recently interviewed for a position and found several aspects of the process concerning. The interviewer's voice was unclear, which made it difficult to understand the questions. Many questions were poorly explained and appeared to be based on misconceptions. The interviewer frequently used vague responses like "no no" when adding conditions to existing problems, instead of clearly stating additional requirements. This approach made it challenging to fully grasp the evolving parameters of the questions.
The interviewer inquired about non-existent "CSR rules" in MongoDB.
When I explained MongoDB streams, he confused PostgreSQL event triggers with MongoDB watch streams.
I was asked to check for email existence in MongoDB, as it was taking too long to check, and to advise a solution, keeping in mind that there are indexes in place and there is no problem in the implementation.
I explained the time complexity of Merge Sort.
I had to explain behavioral and structural design patterns.
There were input and output JavaScript questions about referencing and promises.
I provided solutions for system design, during which the interviewer kept interrupting and dismissing my solutions and kept adding another requirement.
We discussed the advantages of MongoDB over other SQL databases, though he was not aware much about any databases and just made guesses to confuse me.
The following metrics were computed from 2 interview experiences for the PhysicsWallah Backend Developer role.
PhysicsWallah's interview process for their Backend Developer roles is fairly selective, failing a large portion of engineers who go through it.
Candidates reported having mixed feelings for PhysicsWallah's Backend Developer interview process.
