The overall interview experience felt unprofessional and disappointing. While the manager I initially spoke with was kind and respectful, the technical interview was a very different experience. The interviewer often didn’t seem to listen to my responses—likely due to a network delay on his end—yet this was reflected negatively in the feedback as “weak communication.” He also framed my clarification questions as if I was fishing for hints, which I found unfair. What frustrated me the most was that the feedback I received didn’t align with what actually happened during the interview. For example, when asked how I would improve my solution, I gave a clear and thoughtful answer, and the interviewer even responded positively at the time—yet the written feedback claimed I gave no improvement suggestions at all. It felt like a misrepresentation, and I honestly don’t understand why. While I understand not every interview will go as expected, I believe fairness and accurate representation are fundamental to a respectful hiring process. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling dismissed rather than evaluated on my actual performance.

The interview consists of two rounds: a 30 minute round of Behavioral Questions (BQ) and a 90 minute technical round covering OOP, systems design, and Leetcode like problems. The overall experience was nice and smooth.
