Process
I had 4 rounds of interviews, although it was supposed to be a 6-round interview.
The types of questions were mostly on design, such as "How would you design a product?", which went for more than an hour.
Then I had the second round, which was on the projects that I have worked on. They kept digging deeper into the projects.
The third round was mostly on web technologies, focusing on CSS and JavaScript.
The fourth round was on Python and Django.
Finally, the HR person told me that they were unable to proceed further.
Questions
How do you design a marketplace for an elevator? I couldn't understand what that meant. I kept asking for more input, but all the time it was the same question: "There are elevators in a building. How do you design apps for those elevators? How do developers upload them to the marketplace?" I couldn't answer this question, and it was the first one.
