First technical round, started with networking questions then 2 coding problems and 1 system design problem - In system design question problem statement was open ended. Interviewer was not that friendly and helpful. I struggled on System design question.

The overall interview process was fairly standard. It began with an HR round that lasted around 15–20 minutes, followed by three technical rounds. I believe I performed well throughout, and I was informed afterward that the feedback from the technical rounds was positive. However, despite the encouraging feedback, I was later told by the HR representative that the position had been elevated to a more senior role, and the team felt I would not be the right fit for this updated requirement. While I appreciate the opportunity to interview, I was disappointed with the outcome—especially after receiving positive feedback and investing significant time and effort. Clearer communication regarding potential changes to the role earlier in the process would have been helpful and more respectful of candidates’ time and expectations.

There were 3 rounds in total - There were 2 rounds of coding/system design with Principal Engineers They also discussed one project in detail - There was 1 hiring manager round, where we discussed previous projects
