Hey all! I have 4 years of experience as software developer (Fintech and Finance).
I gave more than 50+ interviews (15+ companies) in last 4 months and would love to share my interview experiences one by one to give back to the community.

I started preparing for a switch in Sept and PhonePe was the first company to reach out and scheduled rounds in October of 2025.

PhonePe
Applied via LinkedIn and got callback from the HR.

Rounds-

R1 - Machine Coding Round
No protocoring and was given 90 minutes to finish and email the solution.
Queston - Customer Issue Resolution (Agents, Issues etc)
Issue will have types - Payment failure, query etc.
Focus was on user assignment strategy.

Two days after that 30 mins call was scheduled to discuss the solution and my approach. Questions around concurrency, design patterns etc.

Verdict - Cleared

R2 - DSA Round
Q1 - Water Jug Problem.
(Solved but took lot of time, I feel I was not in the flow and little bit rusty after not doing DSA for so long)
Q2 - Question related to binary tree and mirror image.
(Solved within 5-10 minutes)

Interviewer seemed somewhat okay though I was doubtful due to too much spent on first question. At the end he mentioned some tip about next round so I thought result will be positive.

But Diwali came and did not hear anything post that even after follow ups.

Verdict - Rejected

Will share my experience for a lot more companies soon!
