Phonepe Interview Experience : Updated the complete journey.

Profile: Backend Eng.
YoE: (3-5) yrs

Update from Phonepe :
Round 1: Machine Coding Round followed by evaluation round

Problem Statement: Based on game which is similar to snake and ladder, but instead had some other features which need to be solved.
Evaluation Round: Extra features were implemented in evalutation interview round.

Round 2: DSA round (3 questions were asked with time frame of 1 hr)
2 Medium and 1 Easy.
In last questions, I was asked to provide the approach for the last one. I gave the approach & we ended the call.
You need to write and run the code in their online compiler (CodeSignal)
If you face any issue, you can ask them to use your compiler as well, this is what I did. (Used Leetcode Playground)

Round 3: System Design (HLD) round : lasted for about 1hr 20min
Problem Statement : There is an e-commerce website, and we need to implement a subscription feature. what are the services which need to be used from existing e-commerce platform & created new if required. And alot of multiple cross questions and so on. It went for 1hr 30min.
This round was fun and exciting. As we discussed multiple tradeoffs and ways to implement the feature with discussion of database schema, api contracts and also cases of failure and how we can handle it.

Round 4: HM round (1 hr) [tough] : Resume Grill (30 Min) & HLD (30 min)

Good Luck 🎉
