I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at ConnectWise (Mumbai) in Feb 2020
Interview
I went through an agency for Continuum (Mumbai). The slot scheduled for me was 11.30. I got 4 phone calls before 11.00 to check if I will be able to make it on-time. 2 from agency and 2 from Continuum itself. I reached there at 11.15. There were a lot of candidates around 50. My interview started at 3.00. No one bothered to tell us that it's going to take so much time. A lot of guys who came from far places were on time but everyone's turn was 2-3 delayed of the slot they were communicated.
Their management was a mess. They provided snacks and lunch though.
It even took half an hour to be called for the second round after I cleared the first round.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Basic questions in the first round.
OOP concepts
Design patterns you have used.
Collections, Multithreading.
Microservices architecture advantages.
Stack, Queue, Linklist, etc.
The second round was taken by Principal Software Engineer. He had a communication problem and wasn't able to express clearly what he wanted as a solution. He asked me 2 questions.
1. Given an array, divide it in half at the midpoint and convert it into two stacks, one for the first half and second for the other half. Design a class such that it contains push and pop methods. Push method will take argument A or B for the first and second half respectively along with the value to be pushed. If A the value should be pushed to the first half. Similarly pop would take the argument A or B. If B, it should pop a value from the second half.
2. There is a GET API that responds with very large data. For example, employee records where each record contains all the fields of an employee. But the customer is not happy with such a big response which put burden on the network. What can you do to change the API to respond with less amount of data. (This time I understood the question and asked wherever I need clarity).
There are total 3 rounds but here is a catch - interview will be taken by flocareer which hires most unprofessional interviewers with zero manners
Interview was done via flocareer - interviewer joined late and started asking questions not relevant to the tech stack!

Question 1

I successfully cleared two technical rounds, each lasting one hour and focused on coding/technical questions. However, the managerial round was an extremely stressful experience. The interviewer was consistently rude and dismissive throughout the discussion. She disagreed with almost every point made, regardless of its validity, and her approach was highly demotivating. At times, she made discouraging remarks that felt intentionally demotivating, which added to the pressure and created a hostile environment for the candidate.
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at ConnectWise (Mumbai) in Sept 2024
Interview
This took 1 week to schedule interview, they first take first interview from outsource interviewer, interviewer was asking irrelevant questions which was not belonging to my profile and was judging on that.
