I completed a design and coding exercise on HackerRank, followed by a hiring drive on Saturday. The process was chaotic.

I was asked to report at 10:45 AM, but the interview didn't start until 12:45 PM. It included:

• One DS and Problem round
• One design round
• One round with the hiring manager

The process took the full day, ending at 5 PM.

At the end, HR said they would call me back for negotiation, but I never received a call. I didn't follow up because I was disgusted by the unprofessional culture and had another offer.

Typical problem-solving using arrays, strings, and trees.

The design round was weird, as the interviewer didn't have much experience (<3 years YOE) in software design. They were focusing on solving small parts instead of looking at the bigger picture.
