PhonePe | Software Engineer ( 3-5 YOE) | Reject

Round 1 Machine Coding Round ( Strong Hire )

Questions: The question was similar to solving Customer Issues which PhonePe receives, wherein we have to assign the issues to a given agent depending upon different strategies.

We were given ~1.5 hrs to code (you can choose your own IDE) and after a few days, a 30-minute review was set up to explain the code to the interviewer where he/she could ask follow-up questions.

Round 2 ( Problem Solving / Data Structure ) - ( Strong Hire )

  2. Longest Increasing Path in a Matrix

Round 3 ( System Design ) - ( Weak Hire / Reject )

Questions: Design Twitter where users can post tweets, follow different users, etc.

The round went decent; I was hoping to get a call but received a rejection email after ~2 days. It seems the bar has increased a lot these days.
