I applied online and the recruiter reached out for initial discussion to understand the experience, compensation, e.t.c. 1. First discussion with the HM (Senior Director) and it was more like a conversation with few questions in-between. Good round and was confident on moving to next round. 2. Recruiter called me to confirm my availability for the Second round (Technical evaluation) with an less experienced interviewer and has 8-9 years of experience and I straight away said NO for that panel member. From my past experience, they may be exceptionally talented, but only few knows how to interview senior candidates. Recruiter convinced me to not to worry about this and it'll be taken care. 3. Second round started and after pleasantries, the interviewer wanted to me to do System Design. **************************************************** I was asking few questions on the use-cases, requirements, corner cases to be addressed , e.t.c., INTERVIEWER lost patience and said to me " Can you start the Func and Non-Func reqs now?". I thought to address them and move quicker. Me: As Freshworks didn't provide me a drawing board, can I share my screen and start adding HL components in Word Doc ? INTERVIEWER : Not needed, you can draw on the paper and show to the camera. After explaining the components, INTERVIEWER again paused me and wanted me to wrap the HL and jump into the Core section. I questioned on why are we rushing into that as it was just 10 mins into the interview. INTERVIEWER was silent. So, I shared the handwritten via the camera and the comment was "The design is too detailed and wanted to see a specific component", which the INTERVIEWER didnt allow me to complete my questions initially. 15mins into the interview. Paused me and the INTERVIEWER wanted to solve the problem in the current project to which I asked do the "System design of the problem given or solve the project problem" ?. Me: Give me some inputs to attempt understanding the problem. But, I clearly mentioned that I'll try to highlight what different I would have done and which approach would have impacted. INTERVIEWER wanted me to solve the problem and fix it for the team. To which I mentioned, I can't as the Use-cases and business requirements are unclear. Also, this is interview and I'm not a Consultant to fix in interview discussions. For that, I have to be part of the team. The interview wrapped in 20mins and INTERVIEWER said he's done and I can ask my questions. Me: What is this? We didn't complete the System Design and how's this done? INTERVIEWER : I'm fine and lets stop here if you have no further questions. ******************************** Dear Recruiters, Please work with HM on the suitable INTERVIEWER members for Senior Leadership discussions. Work with HM and try to provide the feedback as this may impact other candidates as well. Interview process is hectic and don't make it more complicated by these kind of irritating discussions.
