Myntra-Bengaluru || Onsite || SDE-1 DATA
Summary
I applied for an SDE-1 Data role at Myntra in Bengaluru and went through an online assessment followed by four onsite interview rounds covering DSA, system design, data engineering, and behavioral aspects. Unfortunately, I was not selected, with feedback indicating a lack of clarity in my explanations.
Full Experience
I applied for the SDE-1 Data role at Myntra through LinkedIn Easy Apply in early February 2025. Within two hours, a recruiter contacted me, leading to an online assessment (OA) and an onsite interview schedule for the following Friday.
The OA was conducted on the Mettl platform and consisted of three questions over two hours. I managed to pass, although I struggled with the last question.
The onsite interviews comprised four rounds:
Round 1: Technical (DSA Focused)
This round was of medium-hard difficulty and covered topics like Strings, Linked List Cycle Detection, and an advanced graph problem, with which I struggled a bit.
Round 2: System Design + Data Engineering Concepts
This round involved discussions on system design and core data engineering concepts. There was also one heap-based DSA question.
Round 3: Hiring Manager Round
In this round, we discussed my past projects and experiences in depth, and my knowledge of data engineering was assessed.
Round 4: HR Round
The final round, conducted on the following Tuesday, consisted of general behavioral questions.
Ultimately, I received a 'Not Selected' verdict. The feedback I received indicated a 'lack of clarity in some areas', particularly needing improvement in explaining concepts, strengthening system design, and advanced DSA.
Interview Questions (1)
During one of my technical rounds, I was asked a question related to detecting cycles in a linked list. This typically involves determining if a linked list contains a cycle and possibly finding the starting point of the cycle.
