I had a first-round interview with Sahil Shood last Friday, where the feedback from HR was to brush up on my skills for the next round. The second round was conducted by Anil Gupta. During the interview, I felt that the focus was misaligned. While discussing my past experience, Anil insisted on knowing every detail about the business aspects, such as the specific components of a wristband service I worked on, rather than focusing on the technical aspects of my role as a developer.
As a developer, my responsibilities included associating the band with the user, retrieving band details, and checking if the band was properly associated. However, Anil’s questions delved into the physical components of the band, such as whether there was a chip inside and how it was installed, which seemed irrelevant to my role. I felt that the interview should have been more focused on my technical skills and experience, especially since the position was for a developer, not a business analyst or a management role.
Despite having offers from other reputable companies, I chose to participate in this interview process to stay active in the job market. However, I was disappointed with how the interview was conducted, as it did not appropriately assess my skills and experience relevant to the role. I ended the interview prematurely, as I felt disrespected and misunderstood.
In the future, I hope interviewers will focus on relevant topics, such as coding skills, design patterns, and current projects, rather than dwelling on unrelated business details. This approach ensures a fair and accurate assessment of a candidate’s qualifications and experience.
