Phonepe Interview Experience

Hey everyone! 👋 Just sharing my PhonePe Software Developer (3-5 YOE) interview experience on a public channel. It was a rollercoaster 4 weeks! Round 1 (Machine Coding): Went well, but missed custom error handling (interviewer pointed it out!). Still moved on. Round 2 (DSA): Nailed it! Bread and butter, as they say. Round 3 (HLD - Website Blocker): This was an interesting one! The interviewer asked me to design a website blocker app for Chrome. The flow was: every time a Chrome user hits a URL, it gets sent to my system, which checks against their blocked list and responds. My design was okay, but I made a blunder choosing Cassandra as the DB and couldn't properly justify it. Surprisingly, made it to the next round! Round 4 (Hiring Manager - 20+ yrs): Project discussions, but my platform-heavy background vs. their payment focus was highlighted. The interviewer seemed a bit distracted too. Asked for feedback but got rejected without any. Considering my experience (2.5 YOE), what do you think could have been the main reason for the rejection? Keen to hear your thoughts! 🙏 #PhonePe #InterviewExperience #SoftwareDeveloper #Feedback

You might be rejected for a very small reason. After R4 in debrief someone might have highlighted something which didn't seem good and other people might have agreed. It happens, onto the next one mate!
