I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PhonePe (Bengaluru) in Sep 2024
Interview
It was a total time waste for me. First round was completely technical. The interviewer was very rude, he asked couple of SQL questions. Interviewer was good for the second round, he asked rca and sql questions. Then comes the interesting part. HR scheduled the 3rd round with one of the associate directors. But some other rude guy turned up in the call and was in a hurry right from the beginning. It felt as if he was taking the interview just for namesake. He told things like 'dosent matter anyways, just show me what you've written'. He was constantly insulting. He was asking DE questions for a DS role. It was a very bad experience. Next day I called the HR and asked why was the interviewer changed last minute to which she replied that she has no idea. Then I asked for the update, she said she has no feedback yet. Just 5mins after this call I got a rejection email.

Interview
The interview process included one coding round and four interview rounds.
For me, all the rounds went very well, and I was expecting an offer, but I didn’t receive any reply from HR.
Once HR stops picking up your calls, it usually means you’ve been rejected.
