Summary

I interviewed at PICE for a Senior Backend Engineer/SDE 4 role in June 2025. I struggled with some rounds due to insufficient preparation, particularly LLD and a complex anagram problem, leading me to self-reject the offer.

Full Experience

I was interviewed at PICE in June 2025 for Senior backend engineer/SDE 4 Role. The interview was for 2 hours.

Somehow my HLD round was better. My LLD and last question went horribly wrong as i wasn't well prepared. So i self rejected myself in my mind. Pretty sure i will get a rejection email in a few days.
