The interview process had 5 rounds. The first round was an aptitude/screening test. This was followed by a DSA round to assess problem-solving skills. The next rounds focused on domain knowledge including JavaScript, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and REST APIs. The interviewers were professional and the process was well structured.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ProminentPixel (Rājkot, Gujarat) in Jan 2026
Interview
Worst Interview Experience – CEO Round Feedback
I cleared the first aptitude round, the second technical round (questions on .NET, React, and pattern problems), the third technical round (easy LeetCode questions like second highest number and pattern problems), and the fourth technical round (binary search, pattern questions, and other LeetCode problems). I successfully answered all the questions in every round.
In the final CEO round, I again solved all the questions asked:
Find the second highest number
Given a string, return a string containing only the characters that appear exactly once
Rotate a 2D array by 90 degrees
Despite solving all problems correctly, the CEO concluded that I “need to improve my technical skills.”
What was shocking is that the CEO clearly did not understand problem-solving concepts such as time complexity, space complexity, or alternative valid approaches. I was told that my solution was “wrong” simply because it was different from the approach the CEO had in mind—even though the solution was correct and efficient.
The exact attitude was: “I don’t care if it’s right or wrong. For me, it’s wrong.”
This is not how technical interviews should be evaluated.
After clearing multiple technical rounds and demonstrating consistent problem-solving ability, being rejected for such a vague and unjustified reason is extremely unprofessional. It felt like the final decision was based on personal bias rather than technical competence.
This was, without a doubt, the worst interview experience I have ever faced—demotivating, unfair, and a complete waste of a candidate’s time.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at ProminentPixel (Rājkot, Gujarat) in Jul 2025
Interview
Interview was very hard, although I answered everything but got rejected for just one answer.
The interviewers were very polite. But the screening was very difficult. The company is very attractive and clean.
