Starting was good. First two rounds had Javascript, Basic DSA, React questions. Third round was managerial round taken by Lead engineer. It started normally then turned into HLD LLD and React interview. Asking to implement a system. Any use of searching and looking up things was not allowed which doesn't align with real world scenario. Too much focus on code implementation rather than problem solving, approach, and concept clarity.
