Interview
First round was an online DSA test consisting of two questions. Second round is with another problem solving round but while pairing with one of their developer. (The pair was quite helpful) Third round was system design round. (Designing the Uber search) Fourth round was project drill down and tech stack round. At last I got a call from recruiter for all the documents (salary slips and compensation related). I had a positive experience till the system design round. In the last round the manager's attitude was bit condescending. Ideally, this should have been the first round if specific tech and syntax is what you are looking for. This would save time from both the sides. Nevertheless, I got a call from the recruiter for the documentations and got an preliminary offer which was not as per my expectation so I negotiated and they revised. The position offered was 2 level below my current designation. Post that I got an update that due to some reason they were not able to release the final offer for a month. At last after a month when I got the callback from recruiter I had already accepted the offer from another company and had to decline.
