Lead Software Engineer Interview Experience - India

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process was straightforward, with one telephonic round. Post this, I was informed that there would be four more rounds.

Although a whole day was requested by HR and she had scheduled four remote rounds, after completing two rounds, there was no information about whether further rounds would take place.

It was a "wait and see" situation: if I received a call, the interview would start; otherwise, it wouldn't.

Moreover, there was a designated design round. Even after 50 minutes, it was unclear what the interviewer expected as an answer. He kept insisting I provide the design. I asked which part he wanted – the database/schema, the flow, or the system components – to which he replied, "What do you mean by design?"

Therefore, I suppose either I wasn't smart enough to understand him, or he wasn't able to make the requirements clear.

Questions

The questions were related to DS, design, and architecture.

Disclosing them here is not suitable, in my opinion.
