Experience:

This candidate had an onsite interview with Myntra in November 2024 for an SDE-1 Frontend position. The process involved 4 initial rounds, and later an additional Hiring Manager round.

Online Test Assessment: This was the first round, details not fully specified but implied to have DSA questions.

Technical Interview - DSA (Round 1):

• Check whether two binary trees were mirror or not.
• Random meteor question related to weight and direction. The candidate solved it using a Stack, and the interviewer liked the approach.

Technical Interview - DSA (Round 2):

• Cheapest Flights within K stops.
• Sort colors (an array consisting only 0, 1, 2, to be sorted in O(n) time and O(1) space).

Hiring Manager Round (Round 3): The interviewer asked about the candidate's projects and previous organization work. A low-level design question related to the Myntra app was discussed, exploring various approaches. Questions on React and performance optimization were also asked.

HR Interview: The candidate cleared all initial rounds and the HR interview, and was asked to share documents for onboarding.

Additional Hiring Manager Round (after offer on hold): After the offer was put on hold due to less experience in React Native, the candidate had another onsite Hiring Manager round. This round included questions related to sprints, managing tasks, and a high-level system design question around Myntra checkout and payments. The manager wanted to know the exact working of Myntra checkout and how they maintain performance and security. The candidate felt this round did not go well.

Overall Experience: The offer was put on hold, and the subsequent hiring manager round did not go well, leading to the impression of rejection.
