      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      15 Nov 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hyderābād
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at New Relic (Hyderābād) in Nov 2024

      Interview

      Online test comprising of MCQ and coding. System design round and finally coding round. I dont understand why some companies/ panels still rely so much on old school methods of interviewing where a problem from leetcode has to match their known solution otherwise you are rejected. It seems cramming has become the norm now and mediocrity is appreciated

      Question 1

      Design a hotel system design

      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      9 Sept 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at New Relic

      Interview

      Had good coding conversation, thought process was clearly articulated and penned down clearly. In this age, if someone is still looking for syntax, symantics, it shows lack of technology adoption in the mindset and is stuck in oldschool. It didn't move forward, but sure there are no red flags. Not sure why there is rejection, interviewer doesn't seem to have any clue why he rejected. I had been interviewer, and I know how it bites back (be careful interviewers, look for clarity in thinking, avoid mindset not needed in this advanced tech era, If I remember too much syntax and symantics , I can jump boats continuosly, wont be loyal anywhere. )

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given API and its response time, just return max, min, average and mode of the api.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at New Relic in Oct 2024

      Interview

      After submitting my application I was asked to join a phone screen, sandard topics of conversation there (salary expectations, etc.). The second step was a technical interview. I met with three separate engineers.
