The interview process consisted of:

• Two rounds of Karat platform interviews, focusing on technology skills and Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA).
• One system design round, focused on large-scale data streaming.
• One Hiring Manager Interview.

The experience was deeply disappointing and, frankly, unprofessional.

Throughout the interview, the hiring manager appeared disinterested and disengaged. He yawned multiple times, which gave the impression that he was either bored or not taking the conversation seriously. This behavior was both distracting and disrespectful.

Additionally, I was asked to solve a problem using Java, which I proceeded to do. However, after I completed the task, the manager abruptly stated that he had been expecting a shell script solution instead. This lack of clarity and shifting expectations during a technical interview reflects poorly on the preparation and communication standards of the team.

Interviews are a two-way evaluation process, and this interaction left me questioning whether this organization values professionalism, respect, or the time of its candidates.
