The 4-round interview was well-structured: First round tested algorithmic skills on HackerRank (medium-level graph problem). The next two technical sessions deeply covered system design and C#/.NET core concepts. Final behavioral interview had insightful discussions about career growth. Although I didn't receive an offer, the interviewers provided actionable feedback within 3 days, which was highly professional.

Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.

The interview was hard, even as a fresher the dsa they asked was hard category after I checked on leetcode. Though I couldn't solve it. Some of the other people who interviewed were asked easy - medium dsa
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.
