Software Developer Interview Experience

November 27, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process was one HR round followed by three technical rounds. HR pre-empted that some rounds might be conducted in Mandarin. Some interviewers were late and rude, and they didn't pay attention during the coding sections, only checking the output at the end. It was not a good experience.
