      Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bengaluru
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at PhonePe (Bengaluru) in Jul 2025

      Interview

      I went through their complete interview process and was left very disappointed with the way it ended. I cleared three highly technical rounds, each of which was challenging and in-depth. The interviewers in those rounds clearly understood my skills and selected me through each stage, which gave me confidence that my capabilities were being fairly evaluated. After that, I was scheduled for a managerial round, which was not technical at all. I am still not sure whether I was rejected in this final round or afterwards. If the rejection was based on this stage, it raises a serious concern: were the three technical rounds not enough to validate my abilities? Since I would have been working closely with the technical team who had already approved me, why should a non-technical managerial discussion outweigh those evaluations? To make matters worse, there was no timely communication. After completing all four rounds, I heard nothing for over a week. Only after I personally followed up with HR did I receive a rejection mail on the same day. The lack of transparency, delayed response, and absence of constructive feedback made the whole process feel unprofessional and discouraging.
