1. Tell me about yourself

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NIKE (Bengaluru) in May 2025
Interview
Had 2 rounds - 1st one was general questions about my role and a few behavioural questions
2nd round - the interviewer didn’t even go through with the round because he thought my experience was not fitting seeing my resume
I feel like the hiring process was unfair in the last round. I received an interviewer where we had a language barrier. I used sophisticated grammar that he couldn’t understand, and his accent was something that I could not understand.
The interview was highly technical, focusing on databases, SQL optimization, and algorithms. I had to explain SQL queries, partitioning strategies, and indexing techniques. There were also questions about Python, particularly decorators and generators.
