This four-round loop was about DSA execution and being thorough with edge cases. Early on, I saw ordinary algorithm questions alongside an AI-assisted, repo-based coding task. I could usually find the central DSA idea, but I did not get all the edge cases right or leave enough time to debug.

The later rounds kept the same theme, with coding problems at different levels and behavioral moments mixed in. Even when I reached a reasonable answer quickly, it seemed that completeness, corner cases, and confidence while iterating mattered just as much.

I was rejected. The hard part was not only missing solutions; it was realizing how heavily the bar weighed robustness and final polish.

Location: Chennai. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
