After seeing tremendous negative reviews for Razorpay, I doubted applying to this organization. Then, I made up my mind to see it all for myself.

The interview process consisted of 3 rounds:

• Round 1: Machine coding round, a session of 2 hours
• Round 2: System Design
• Round 3: Hiring Manager

The process was simple, and the questions posed in each level were easy and easily solvable.

The feedback I received from HR after the last round was shocking to me. He said, "Based on our discussions, we are clearly impressed by the expertise and experience you have to offer; however, we regret to inform you that for the current position discussed, we will not be able to proceed with your candidature owing to the specificity of the position."

I am still shocked, as my discussion with the hiring manager was the best compared to any other round. This is the level of professionalism that Razorpay follows. I was shocked.

Candidates going upfront for interviews are just wasting their time. The evaluation process of Razorpay is the worst. No matter how well you perform, they would prefer Tier 1 only.

In the end, I now understand why there are so many negative interview experiences for Razorpay.

1. In-memory search engine

Your organization has started a new tech blog with interesting tech stories, and you're responsible for designing and implementing an in-memory search engine to support the search functionality on the blog content.

It should support the following:

• It should be possible to create a dataset in the search engine.
• It should be possible to insert documents into a given dataset. Each document is simply a piece of text.
• It should be possible to search through documents for a search pattern in a given dataset.
• It should be possible to order the search results.

Examples:

1. Search term: apple Doc1: apple is a fruit Doc2: apple apple come on Doc3: oranges are sour Doc4: apple is sweet Doc5: veggies are healthy Result: Doc2, Doc1, Doc4

1. System Design for a central service that can add services and entities in the system. Services can audit deltas for each entity.

2. All about an in-depth project done so far, clearly stating the problem and providing the solution.
