Vorstellungsgespräch
Was invited onsite after initial phone screen by the Hiring manager. I did not have much experience in the file system development and my resume showed it. I had infact developed a stacked file system and that was the only experience. The interview consisted of 4 engineers taking turns in asking me coding/technical questions. First interviewer asked me some questions about file system implementation and I answered from my experience. The second interviewer was the least knowledgeable among all in my opinion. He asked me how malloc works and when I said it calls kernel for allocating more heap memory when it is short, he was so shocked and started arguing with me about how wrong I was. 3rd interviewer bombarded me with 15 coding questions (reverse linked list, reverse string etc etc) and it was a cake walk for me. 4th interviewer asked me a question about sorting integers. When i started the answer with a insert sort linkedlist, the problem statement changed from a insert problem to a const array sort problem and wanted a me to say heap sort was the best answer. But he didnt hesitate to tell me that he wanted a discussion and not a memorized answer. Funny!
The hiring manager was decent enough to call me and tell me that the team thought I didnt have enough file system experience and said he would recommend me for other positions. Didnt my resume already say that? So why waste my time?
Technical interview initial screening round from US. Followed by design rounds. 2nd and 3rd rounds were more focused on system programming and design scenarios. Was rejected before the coding round

I attended only the first round of the interview process, and since then I have not received any communication from the recruiter. There have been no follow-up emails, status updates, or information shared regarding the next steps or the outcome of the interview.

Frage 1
Coding Interview
1. Subset Sum
2. Return all subsets from the subset sum
The process started with a standard HR phone call.
Next was a conversation with a technical team lead. He didn't allow me to present myself properly - immediately after I shared just 2 brief points about myself, he requested to move to technical questions. He asked me to describe a complex technical project I worked on and questioned me mainly about handling failures.
The next stage was a project architecture presentation. I had checked with them in advance, and they were honest about it being an architecture review of a project I had designed. I prepared a presentation. Two interviewers joined - one asked about the project but seemed not to understand parts of it and didn't request clarifications, despite my emphasis that he should ask if anything wasn't clear.
He was impatient and didn't let me finish explaining all the project components. He wasn't very patient and jumped straight to questions without letting me explain the complete system flow first.
Afterward, they sent an insulting and generic email saying they chose not to proceed. Both during the interview and after, I requested detailed feedback - they disappeared and provided no feedback. Unfair process, and I wouldn't recommend them.
