I was contacted by recruiter to give the online test on HackerEarth platform.Perhaps, I would have applied online sometimes back.
Online test was a typical one, focusing on DSAlgo/Problem Solving.
After qualifying the online test, there were 3 online F2F rounds focused on DS/Algo , Java frameworks and micro-services and High and Low level design respectively.
Each round was kind of elimination round as mentioned by recruiter.
I was unlucky as I got rejected after the first round.
The first round, as I was told would be focused on DS/Algo, but I was asked questions from core Java too.
Believe, I had a very good first round, was able to finish the round before the assigned time and had a healthy discussion with the interviewer as well.
Later got to know that they were hiring for senior Java Developer with 3+ years of experience. If this was the case, they might not have shortlisted my CV for giving the online test at first place.
This was the classic example of the hiring flaw that results in time wastage of the candidate.

Interview questions were focused on problem solving/ DsAlgo, core Java questions.

P.S: ~1.5+ Years Exp.
