Experience:

This candidate, a 2023 graduate, interviewed for an SDE1 Backend position in Chennai after a referral.

Round 1: Coding

• Two coding questions were asked.
• The candidate was able to solve both questions within 45 minutes.

Round 2: LLD + HM

• This round focused on system design and managerial fit.
• The candidate was asked to design a system similar to Bookmyshow, including features like adding theaters, booking seats, and viewing shows.
• The LLD round did not go well, as the interviewer asked multiple questions related to the design that the candidate could not answer.
• Towards the end, a few managerial questions were asked, such as: "What will you do if you are stuck with an issue and you have a release of that feature coming up in the next 5 days?", "What will you make sure before the production release?".

The candidate was still waiting for the result but anticipated a negative outcome due to the second round. The final verdict was rejected.
