Can I ask to speak with the interviewer over email?

I recently interviewed at a startup for a Backend role. I cleared the initial take-home assignment round and subsequent DSA round and their HR told me the third round would be a Design round. I prepared accordingly. At the time of the interview, no one showed up. I had to wait for 15 minutes for someone to show up. Instead of asking me a Design question, the latecomer asked me another DSA question. I asked him why is he doing that as it was clearly communicated to be a Design round. The interviewer said Design would be asked in the next round if I clear this one. Weird! He only gave me 10 minutes to come up with the solution. After that he spilled the answer, and cut the call abruptly. I get a rejection email the next day. Now why am I writing this post? Because I just saw the CTO of thar company rant on Linkedin about how his candidates declined their offer letters at the last minute. The moral of the story is that if you misbehave with your candidates, they will misbehave with you. So be prepared to take the L.

Role: Data scientist It's my 2nd round but I am clueless what else they are going to ask!?

Applied to Paypal through a linkedin job post around mid May. Got reached out by their HR late in May for an Online Assessment round on Hackerrank. OA was of 1 hour and contained 8 MCQ on Android and 2 DSA easy level leetcode - 2 sum + max profit. Cleared that and 2 WEEKS later got asked to interview for a subject in depth and DSA round. This round contained general Android knowledge and in depth language awareness questions(Kotlin based). Around the end of the interview, the interviewer asked to open any preferrer IDE and share the screen and then to write a solution for eliminating a target value from Integer array(can contain duplicates too) without using extra space. Cleared that and went on to the 3rd round three days later which was essentially a repeat of the previous round but more conversational. The time ran out before any DSA Question could be asked. Three days later got asked to interview for the Hiring Manager round which got scheduled and then got cancelled a day before the interview was supposed to take place. Tabse leke ye haal hai. HRs are ghosting and seem clueless themselves. Their workday portal also has removed the link for the role I was interviewing for. Who else has been through this haath ko aaya mooh na laga situation?

Have upcoming DSA rounds for Staff Software Engineer at Google. Any suggestions around the type of questions to expect or related topics?

Hi guys, If you have interviewed with amazon recently for SDE2 position, can you share questions asked to you ? I have cleared Online assessment, and need some help preparing for the interview

I received a call and a subsequent HRank test for this company Lytx. There was a DSA problem where: For a given MxN matrix containing only 1s or 0s, we had to identify the minimum number of left or right cyclical shifts required on the row for getting at least 1 column with all ones. Sample Input: ['1001,'0101,'0000'] I used chat gpt and still couldn't figure out an exact solution, leave aside solving it on my own. Question for the community: Say they select me for a further round anyways, will the interview as well be this brutal in terms of DSA ? Are these companies expecting programming prodigies or am I just not there in terms of my problem solving journey ? Hoping for some brutally honest responses.

Hi Guys, I am attending an interview process for Lead Data Science. I want to know the previous experiences with to improvise my interview experience. The company having 5 rounds and each round is an elimination (the scary part). First round is DSA and Data Science fundamental. Where I have learnt DSA 5years ago and now I’m out of practice. For Data Science it might be more like ML (I assume). Second round is System Design, which will be more on designing system and scalability Third round is more off Technical And Managerial around. 4th round is managerial round 5th round is HR discussion I want to know where to prepare for all the rounds and what’s the efficient way to prepare for it.
