Recruiter Call
- Recruiter discussed YOE, notice period, "Why do you want to join swiggy?"

Swiggy HR called and told I have passed this round and moved to the onsite rounds
Round 2 - PS/DS Round
- Interviewer introduced himself and told me to introduce myself as well.
- He explained that the interview will be in 2 parts, first 30 minutes is for DSA and the last 30 minutes for android.
- He first asked a very easy question (Haven't seen the question anywhere), I am able to solve it, but it took more time than I anticipated.
- I only got like 10 minutes for next question, and he asked the Edit Distance problem, and I haven't solved this previously so it took me 10 minutes to discuss my approach, but I couldn't code it due to time limitation.
- Next he moved to Android related question, I answered 80% of them.
Interviewer called after a week and told I got a "weak hire" and scheduled my next round
Final Round - Hiring manager round.
- We first introduced ourselves and started discussing my current role and responsibility.
- He then asked alot of questions from the Resume.
- Then he started to ask deep questions regarding Android and kotlin, Some topics he asked was: Extension function, dagger hilt, coroutines etc..
- Then at the final 10 minutes he asked me a leetcode question - Next permutation.
- I was able to successfully tell the approach to him, but didn't get the time to code it and interviewer told he had another meeting as well.
After 4 days HR called and told I passed all the rounds
I received a 28 LPA offer, but the HR didn't proceed further because I’m a college dropout and don’t have a degree.
