Received the call from HR to schedule rounds.
Round 1 : (Problem Solving + Coding) - Round started with intial introduction about tech stack and later moved to DSA. Two standard coding questions were asked but with little twist regarding contraints.
Verdict: Strong Hire (As per recruiter)
Round 2 : (System Design) - This round started with discussion about current project and the interviewer wanted to understand how KAFKA and other message queue technologies worked and Later was asked one LLD question. Recruiter told me that it would be a HLD round but I was taken by surprise and was not able to fully deliver as per interviewers expectations but still provided a basic code and identified core components and DB schema.
Verdict: Dicy / Not Positive (As per recruiter)
Received a call very next day from recruiter to schedule next round. HR said that he feedback from last round was not positive but they havr decided to schedule the next round.
Round 3: (Hiring Manager) This round started with brief introduction from both sides and discussion about project and later was asked HLD problem.
Verdict: Received a call from Talent acquisition team informing that DSA and hiriing Manager round's feedback was positive but due to system design round feedback being dicy, They can't hire me.
