Interview
1. HR phone call
Then I had 3 interviews, including coding, system design and some behavioral questions
HR called to say that I've passed and scheduled a AA interview with a manager.
THAT WAS THE WORST INTERVIEW EVER!
The interviewer behaved very unprofessionally – he even had his feet on the chair or on the sofa, the manner was extremely disrespectful.
He asked me to implement a timer without using a built-in timer, which was a strange and confusing question, especially after I had already passed the LeetCode-style and System Design parts of the interview.
The level of the question was unusual; he expected me to figure out that I could use a now() function across different departments to implement the timer. It was something I had never encountered before.
Overall, it was a very unusual and uncomfortable interview experience.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.

Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
Took a bit longer than I thought, spanning about three weeks from start to finish. After a quick recruiter screen, I had a technical round where I was asked about validating a binary search tree. The wild part is, I had literally seen this exact problem on prachub.com while prepping. It helped me feel more confident discussing my approach and edge cases. There was also a behavioral interview where I shared my experiences, and eventually, I received an offer. I chose to decline it, though, as it wasn't the right fit for me at the time.
