Offer from Sigmoid Analytics Role: Software Engineer 2 CTC: 26 LPA How I Got the Opportunity The HR reached out to me on LinkedIn, likely through Naukri.com. I was informed that they were looking for strong DSA skills, and interviews would focus heavily on problem-solving. Interview Process – 3 Rounds Round 1 – Technical + DSA We discussed my current projects and contributions. I answered a few Java fundamentals questions. DSA Questions included Set Matrix Zero and a Binary Search-based problem. Round 2 – DSA + SQL + Project The interview started with a deep dive into my project, but I struggled to explain its real-world use case to their expectations. I solved a variation of the Next Greater Element problem. I wrote different types of SQL queries involving joins and group by. Round 3 – Technical Deep Dive (Late Night, 10 PM) Feedback from previous rounds suggested focusing more on project-related discussions. Topics covered: RabbitMQ (implementation and usage), scenario-based SQL queries and performance considerations. I faced in-depth questions on Spring Boot core concepts, and I was unable to answer a few clearly, which I believe impacted the feedback. Final Outcome After the third round, the HR stated she would provide feedback, but I have not received any update or closure on the process since then.

Offer from a FANGMULA company. Company initially unwilling to consider my complete notice period. A senior manager suggested I look for another team due to the notice period issue, causing distress.

Company is known for its PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) culture. The CTC offered is only a 2% increase in base salary plus some stocks, which is concerning.

First round: One problem-solving and data structures session plus 2-3 puzzles. Second round: Technical questions, resume discussion, puzzle-solving, and a machine coding challenge on thread implementation with the CTO. Third round: Resume and compensation discussion, likely with the founder. I was able to answer all questions correctly, and the interviewers seemed aligned with my performance. However, after 1.5 weeks, I received a rejection email. I believe this decision was influenced by my compensation expectations. I reached out to HR requesting feedback from the interviews but did not receive any response. Regarding work-life balance, based on my conversations with the interviewers, this might not be the best fit for those seeking a good work-life balance. It was mentioned that working on Saturdays might be required for urgent projects. The expected working hours are approximately 10 AM to 7-8 PM.
