Staff Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Discussion started with a telephonic round where they checked only basic OOPS concepts. The next day, I asked to be at the Seagate office for a F2F, where it was a walk-in with 18 candidates. They took 3 more technical rounds of discussion where they asked basic C++ and problem-solving skills. To be frustrating, they were repeating questions in each round.

The first round was from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM, and I waited inside the conf room for around an hour for the second round. The second round completed by 1:30 PM, and they asked to eat something and come back. There was no food served (it was a Saturday), and the cafeteria was even closed. So, I waited there expecting there would be some manager round or HR round.

At 3:15 PM, they called for the next discussion, and again it was technical, and even too basic, and repeating questions. It went for an hour, and the guy asked me to write a builder pattern code on a sheet. I told him I couldn't do this now; we could discuss a problem and how the builder pattern would be used. I was too tired by that time.

Soon, he asked me to leave the room as he was done. HR came and asked me whether I had done. I told her yes. She went back, checked the panel, and asked me to leave that day. I was expecting a positive response from them and so far, no reply.
