Why 4+ rounds of interviews
To all the senior level employees here. Why do companies take so many rounds of interviews? Why can't they judge based on 2 rounds of interviews - 1 DSA and projects and other on System Design.
The first round is any way a bogus round I feel. Years of education, work experiences and still it doesn't say anything about my qualifications. Also, all the rounds have same questions - Leetcode medium. Then how the fuck they are helping in final decision? Any lights upon these.
Good luck making sense out of this one bcoz regardless of all arguments, the process will not change 🙃
I am going to change it when I will have the position to do so.
What's your current position?
SE 2
It makes sense if you see from company's point of view: 1st is HR call to check on your experience and the company's requirements for the role 2nd live coding / DSA round to check on your problem solving skills 3rd is to check your system design and architecture knowledge 4th is generally cultural fit And the last comes salary discussion
So, that way it comes to 5 rounds which I think is not too much to assess you as a person and professional.
Whoa whoa whoa... Hold on. HR and culture fit is not even being considered here.
1st round : DSA with junior dev
2nd round: DSA with senior dev
3rd round: DSA with senior or team lead
4th round: Sys Design with HM, Lead or Architect
