Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - Hyderābād, Telangana
Process
After clearing the first round of problem-solving, the interviewer scheduled the second round for LLD.
I was specifically asked to prepare for LLD by HR, and she reminded me of this every time she called. However, the interviewer did not ask a single question on LLD. Instead, he gave me a DP Hard level problem and remained on mute for the entire 40 minutes.
Upon sharing my strategy, the interviewer was not paying attention, and I had to repeat myself each time.
Towards the end of the interview, I did remind him that I was specifically asked to prepare for LLD and not coding. He did not say anything.
I have not received a response from HR upon sharing my feedback with them.
