Gopuff Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Four Zoom calls. One was a good chat with some technical questions, the second was very "bay area" with a JavaScript syntactical question, the third was an easy tech problem and the fourth was a design overview. They were all fairly easy going.

Standard first call with recruiter to learn more about the company and the role. Very nice guy. Next is a tech screening call over Google Meet with one of the VPs of engineering. If things go well here, you get invited to a virtual onsite, which is made up of 3 technical assessments that took 1 hour each. I think the engineering staff is a bit of a weird group, but in general they're nice people. Few things about this interview were a bit all over the place. Seeing as this is a NodeJS shop, one of the tech exercises was designed with the assumption that the interviewee is experienced in JS. But the interviewer was at least flexible enough to change to a different problem, once I explained how convoluted a solution to the problem would be in Java. As for the design part, the initial impression was that it was mostly about designing the object model, but then all of a sudden systems design questions come up. Also, we started designing based on assumptions that were established in the beginning, but as we progressed the interviewer starts asking for to consider things that are totally outside the scope of the assumptions. I have yet to hear back from the recruiter, but I'd definitely likely turn down the offer because this team wouldn't be the right fit for me.
