Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

First, an OA which is very hard, you have to be really fast. Then an HR call and then a phone round. Unfortunately, I got unlucky and my interviewer was doing something else while doing the interview; he was muted and I had to ask for his attention twice. Of course, in the end, he said I did very well and one day later I was rejected. The phone round is not particularly difficult, but you have to be fast, and talking too much will cost you.

Questions

They have a bunch of questions about string parsing. More often than not, you will need to read a CSV, so know how to do that, and know how to use the split function.
