Got interview call

Interview round 1 (DSA) (1 hour):
I was asked 2 DSA problems

1. https://leetcode.com/problems/trapping-rain-water
2. https://leetcode.com/problems/search-in-rotated-sorted-array

I solved both the problems with best TC and SC. Interviewer was satisfied and asked if I had any questions on the company, I had asked how the enginerring culture was evolving with AI. The round lasted 45 mins.

After 1 week I called recruiter few times, recruiter did not pick up, after few days in the candidate portal I saw that I was rejected.

Yoe: 1.5
TC: 15 LPA

Edit: OA + interview was around Dec 2025, this is not a recent interview experience.
