   No Offer

   Negative Experience

   Easy Interview

   Application

   I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CloudSek (Bangalore) in Mar 2022

   Interview

   There were 5 rounds in total, interaction rounds, low level design rounds and HR round. There were no coding rounds.
   
   Negatives:
   
   1. The entire interview process took 1 month 15 days which is quite a long time for a company with 100 odd employees.
   2. 12 days after the HR round, I was informed that my skillset doesn't match with the roles they have right now, and they would let me know if anything comes up which was quite absurd since I was earlier informed that the feedback was really good.
   3. Without asking the interviewee to write a word of code, they finalised their verdict that someone isn't skilled at coding after a month long interview process.
   4. In one of the rounds, I was asked a DSA question wherein I had to find the number which appeared twice in an array of positive numbers. I gave him two O(n) solutions (hashset and bitwise xor approach), but he asked me to further optimize the code. Upon failing to do so, when I asked him the answer he gave me another O(n) approach. This was in no way optimized compared to my solution, so that shows he had no idea how time complexities and Big O notations work, still he asked that question.
   5. The job description for the position I applied for mentioned Java but no one at Cloudsek uses Java, infact they were looking for a python machine learning developer.
   
   Positives:
   
   1. All the interviewers were polite, and explained about what they do in depth.
   2. In the HR round, the interviewer was really good at his job. He asked many trick questions like how many companies you have applied for, and what's your dream company to find out whether the candidate is going to stay for a long time or not, I feel that's where things went wrong.
   

   Interview

   Low level design questions. Resume based questions. How many companies have you applied for? What are your top three dream companies? When will you apply for them? How will Cloudsek help you to reach your long term goal?
