An SDE 2 with 3+ years of experience shared their interview experience for a Software Engineer 2 role at Cashfree Payments. The recruiter found the profile on Naukri and scheduled interviews after shortlisting.

Round 1: Coding Round

The interviewer asked a coding question related to Merge Intervals. The problem statement involved finding a common time interval when multiple celebrities, each with available time slots, could meet. The round tested skills in interval merging logic, sorting, boundary handling, and discussion of time and space complexity.

Round 2: LLD Round

This round focused on Low-Level Design. The candidate covered class design, relationships, and flow diagrams. The interviewer expected a more refined approach for search functionality, and despite the candidate justifying their design choices, the interviewer seemed to expect a different perspective.

The candidate received an update 2 days later that they would not be moving forward for the role. Overall, it was described as a short and structured process, mainly testing problem-solving and object-oriented design depth.
