My first interview began with a LeetCode-style DSA problem about intervals that felt medium to hard. We also discussed AWS concepts including ECS, ECR, Lambda, and Step Functions, so it was not purely abstract coding.
The next stage was with the hiring manager. I expected a normal discussion of my projects, but the manager quickly drove the conversation toward the answers he wanted. He cut me off while I was still explaining, which made it difficult to land my points clearly. The process seemed to test how I think and communicate under pressure, but the manager round threw me off.
I did not receive an offer. The manager's interruptions shaped the experience more than anything else.
Location: Bangalore Rural. Overall feedback: Neutral. Offer status: No offer.
