FamPay | SDE-2 | 2026 | Rejected
Summary
I interviewed for an SDE-2 role at FamPay, which involved four rounds: machine coding, past project discussions, low-level design, and cultural fit. I was ultimately rejected.
Full Experience
Round-1 | Machine Coding
I was asked to design key-value store with following functionalities:
1. get
2. set
once i solved the above functionalities in 20-30 mins i was asked to extend the solution for below functionalities -
3. set with TTL
4. should run a automatic job in background to delete values with expiry TTL
"I wrote code in python, and for 4th functionality i could use google for syntax."
Round-2 | Past Project Discussions
I was about the projects i have done in my current organisations, and a lot of cross questions.
Round-3 | LLD
As this was a LLD round so my understanding was to write code for a given question,
but interviewer told he is not expecting code what he expects details of system such that a new intern/developer should able to implement it.
I was asked to design a event booking platform.
Now as the requirement was not clear so i approached the questions as HLD and the conversation led to DB schema and spend a lot of time on that.
i had to ask alot of questions to gather the requirements, even after asking a lot of questions i was unclear
Round-4 | Cultural fit
As usual, a lot of situational based questions and behavioural questions.
got a rejection mail after 2 days, round 2,3,4 were scheduled on same day
