3. Third call with Senior Engineer. From the first minute of of interview only, I found out she has no intention to give positive feedback. Initially asked me about resume and system design and later about algorithm questions she just wrote questions on algopad and didn't explain anything and I had some questions, asked her she has no intention to help or clarify So any way I solved it and handled all corner cases also .
Next day they sent rejection which is expected.

Entrevista
A recruiter approached in LinkedIn & started with phone interview.
Recruiter Interview :
Went over my experiences in the resume , he provided good information about the opportunity, project & the company. He was very professional & even took my availability for next rounds in that call itself.
I have next round with Hiring manager:
Went over my experiences in the resume , he provided good information about the opportunity, project & the company. Asked if I was interested in working on multiple teams & also managing & training team members. He told more about the teams & how they work. I asked for what the expectations from the role & what is the project this role is open for? He told more about how he want to grow the teams & future planning for the apps they were working on.The answers I got , It was little confusing for me If hiring manager had a clarity on the expectations of the role.
Followed by Technical Round in following week:
Intros, Question about my experience in detailed, daily duties, FE or BE preference.
Coding Exercise in coder pad : Count the number of occurrences of a word in a book?
Follow up questions for the code written, Write edge cases to test the use case , what kind of exceptions will the code have, how will you handle the exceptions, What other data structures or ways can be used to solve this problem ?
I was able to solve the problem & also listed out 3 edge cases, exception handling cases & other ways.
I felt the person who interviewed me was kind of adamant & she was looking for more than I could think of then.
Overall I didn't feel comfortable with the way the interviewer was repeatedly asking me for what she is expecting. The prior 2 rounds were good but this round was not ok.
After 3-4 days I received a reject email. That was expected. From the above conversations I think this company has start up culture & they still don't have all the plans structures & expectations for the roles.
The JD they have & the expectation from the s/w is very high. It lacks clarity.

The standard HR screen & chat with an engineer. They were really honest and did a great job of selling the company and the product. I did get another offer before the next stage, but it seems like they had a great team working on the mobile platform. Seems like engineers are given a lot of autonomy to improve the product that brings value. Highly recommend the interview process
