Interview was around 70 minutes, asked question from reactjs (it was there in my project), OOPs , java and 3 dsa question. Optimized code was needed, for 1 graph question just approach was sufficient.

The interview covered standard topics including DSA, DBMS, project discussions, and behavioural questions. Overall, it was a typical software engineering interview focused on problem-solving, technical fundamentals, communication skills, and past experiences.

First round was coding round. They just asked a simple leet code question on two sum problem. Interviewer was helpful. Its more of like a discussion than a coding contest. Had a positive experience.

There were 5 rounds of interviews. Interviewers and questions were good, except one person who modified my code in code pad and stopped it from working. I didn't get selected, but got to know this by the recruiter's silence after all the rounds. They didn't even bother to send a rejection mail.

I voluntarily withdrew my candidacy in the middle of the interview process. During my rounds, the interviewer was openly dismissive and rude. I expected a higher standard from leadership, but the hiring manager unfortunately exhibited the same condescending behavior. An interview is a two-way street; while a company evaluates a candidate's skills, candidates are also evaluating the company's culture. The lack of respect I experienced gave me a very clear glimpse into what the day-to-day working environment would be like. I simply could not see myself working alongside people who treat prospective team members this way, so I chose to walk away.
