Initial communication was from HR regarding the job opening. That was followed by a round of technical interview over telephone. Then there was 2nd technical round over video conferencing. The technical rounds were of medium difficulty. Then there was 3rd round of interview with Manager nothing technical only about Personal queries. Finally HR round where the offer was placed.

This interview process is deeply flawed. I answered most of the questions correctly. Candidates are evaluated against a rigid system that only rewards answers matching predefined options, even for open-ended design questions where multiple valid approaches exist. Well-reasoned, constraint-driven answers are penalized if they don’t align with the tool’s expected wording or structure. This reduces complex problem-solving to keyword matching and completely misses how real engineering and design decisions are made. The final score did not reflect actual ability or reasoning. If this company is serious about hiring strong talent, this interview format needs a major rethink.
