I interviewed for the SDET2 role at Zepto, which comprised three rounds. I successfully cleared the first technical round, which focused on coding and automation challenges.

I interviewed for a Senior SDE role at Zepto, which included Data Structures & Algorithms and System Design rounds. Unfortunately, both rounds were characterized by highly unprofessional behavior from the interview panel.

I interviewed for a Software Engineer - II (Backend) role at Zepto in Bangalore in June 2024. My experience included DSA, LLD, and a Hiring Manager round. Despite performing well and having friendly interviewers, I was ultimately rejected because my project experience didn't align with the company's specific hiring needs.
