I applied via Approached by Company and was interviewed in Apr 2024. There were 2 interview rounds.

Round 1 - One-on-one 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. 1. Live coding question on DP - Discussion on other approaches and complexity
  • Q2. 2. Questions on responsibilities delivered in current role
Round 2 - Group Discussion 

I had an incredibly disappointing interview experience with Anshul, who claimed to have 9 YOE. The interview began with system design question and I nit even given any time to think of the solution. When I tried gathering my thoughts, Anshul accused me of of cheating even though I volunteered to share my screen to prove my honesty. He was not only rude but highly unprofessional.

The situation worsened as the interview progressed. My correct answers were repeatedly declared wrong. For instance, when I stated that "MySQL is a relational database", Anshul incorrectly insisted that t is not. Shockingly he did not agree that a database would be necessary for a link shortener and further claimed that MySQL is a document database.

An interviewer with 9 years of experience should have a basic understanding of fundamental concepts. The interviewer's lack of knowledge and poor conduct makes me doubt the whole hiring process.
The other person in panel, Priyanka, was mute throughout.

Anyone applying here should reconsider it as this can be harmful to a professional's growth.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - When I reported this to HR, they said they are helpless and then terminated my application. I will spread this review widely so that everyone is aware and is given a fair chance.
The HR should take strict action against Anshul and not waste a candidates time. The interview process here is not fair.
