My experience went in a direction I did not expect. Early on, the interviewers seemed to rely on a rigid, memorized script instead of exploring architecture and trade-offs in a real way. The session rushed toward finishing a skeleton task and left little room for production concerns such as comprehensive error handling.
When foundational concepts came up, especially state-machine thinking, the interviewers seemed unfamiliar with them. The requirements shifted at the last minute because they could not define the scope clearly up front. That made it hard to know what "right" meant as the session went on.
I did not get an offer. I believed I was capable of deeper architectural reasoning, but the way the round was run pushed everything toward a constrained outline. I could not shake the feeling that the evaluation did not match the level of work the role would demand.
Location: India. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
