Juspay product interviews had a coding round

It was a red flag for me already. But they had a coding round(2nd) in their 4 round interview process. Stack was Haskell/typescript. Told them I didn't know the language, they told they will give the material to study. Never heard PMs asked to code. Anyone had any similar experience before?

Weave Company- Unprofessional Interviewer

Sharing my interview experience for grapvine audience. I applied to this company called Weave for Software Engineer role. 1. Recruiter call was very good 2. Coding round 45mins - a. Interviewer wasted 30mins Asking irrelevant questions for the coding round. b. Asked why my current company uses AWS instead of other cheaper cloud providers like GCP, Azure etc, as if I am CTO at my employer. c. Asked Hr questions like why I am looking for switch and what is my tenure at current company, it was totally irrelevant to coding round. d. Asked manipulative question to frame me, "What is the strength of my current engineering team?", I answered 5 engineers, SDE2, staffs etc. He then put his narcissistic comment "If I don't consider EM and PMs as a strength of the team" as in strength-weakness manner. e. Wasted 30mins in these BS questions and then gave a coding question which I solved with working code and he was satisfied with it. f. I was already shocked by his un-professional behaviour, to add to it he extended another 15mins to interview by asking follow up tech questions. g. I knew it's something wrong with this interviewer, then he started asking from which place in the country I am from. I was not in a mood take anymore of his BS, so I gave vague answer mentioning my State in India, he yet started pressuring me to tell exact city. Don't know how this interviewer was a senior engineer at that company with such foolish behaviour. Even after coding a working solution and acknowledgement by interviewer. I got rejection email saying "rejected due to my coding round". I ain't taking such BS and un-professional behaviour, so I reported entire interview details to recruiter and Head HR of that company, it's totally unacceptable for interviewers to waste time of candidates with their incapability, bias and un-professional behaviour. I got response that they will look into this matter internally and such behaviour is totally not acceptable

Software Engineer 2 - Android Interview at Uber

Recently interviewed with Uber Bangalore through a referral. Made it through 3 rounds before being rejected. This was my first interview at a big tech firm. The process was as follows - Round one - Online Assessment on Code Signal platform. Completion of the OA was necessary and contained 8 questions to be completed in 30 mins. There was 1 easy level leetcode question(in my case it was the leetcode two sum problem) along with 7 MCQ which were based on Android situations / scenarios. Round two - 1 hour long Zoom Interview call with an existing senior SDE working for the HCV team. Question asked was a variation of the leetcode 17 Problem (Letter combination of phone number). Test was conducted Code Signal platform with screen sharing enabled. Round three - Now this is where I was thrown off. This round was also supposed to be conducted on Code Signal as per the email from the HR but went in a different direction. The interviewer this time was a senior SDE from the rider app team. The interviewer seemed like he was not in the mood to conduct the interview and kept a poker face throughout. The task given was to download a simple project of a note making app. Open ended questions were asked as to how would you make this code base better and also you need to add an edit functionality. The app was so damn simple and without any standard architecture or tooling so I started giving suggestions but that is not what the interviewer wanted for some reason. Then he just directed me by saying that just add the edit functionality. Which was again a rather open ended question as the existing functionality to save and retrieve was being done very poorly. Finally finished the interview by adding a few lines to the existing implementation to edit an existing note.
