It was a hiring drive where both freshers and experienced candidates were present. I got a call from naukri after which an online test was scheduled on coding and MCQs. It was easy to clear. I applied as a fresher. Then there were 2 or 3 onsite rounds . First Round : Started with asking about projects in details. Then moved to Java questions about interface, inheritance,etc. Then some SQL queries was asked. Then asked a program on linkedlist which I couldn't answer and one on array which I did. I cleared the first round. Second Round : Asked about Java, hashmap internal implementation, SQL, one program on array which I answered but couldn't optimize the solution. Hence another round was scheduled for me. Third Round : This was the worst possible round. The interviewer seemed not interested at all and was wearing earphones and listening to something. Asked just one question to find whether a number is a power of 2 like 16,32,64,etc without loop. Then asked some questions just for formality.

Extremely lengthy process with inexperienced interviewers who lacked knowledge of Kafka and event driven systems, making the entire experience frustrating, unproductive, and ultimately a complete waste of my valuable time.
