Blue Yonder Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I got shortlisted for the final round and HR was proactively reminding me about prior interviews. Then, HR ghosted me after the third round of interview, where I performed best in all the three rounds. Advice: Should at least spend a couple of seconds to respond with feedback, let the candidate know if it is positive or negative instead of ghosting. Be professional.

First, I had a chat with HR where we talked about my background, my studies, what I'm interested in, and if I'd be a good fit for the company. They also went over what the job involves, what it's like to work here, and what I expect to get paid. Then, I had a technical interview. They wanted to see how much I know technically and if I can solve problems related to the job. They asked stuff about [mention relevant topics or tools, e.g., programming languages, system design, subject knowledge, etc.] to check if I understand the concepts and can actually use my technical skills.

The interview had poor standards. First, a couple of byhearted questions were asked, then a question about reversing a LinkedList. I took a few minutes and presented a solution. Initially, the interviewer didn't respond, then said my solution was wrong. I reviewed the code and an example but couldn't find the flaw. He then stated the `while` loop condition was incorrect. I checked again thoroughly but found no error. I asked why it was wrong and tried to explain my code, but he wasn't understanding and conducted the interview like an interrogation, barely speaking, as if revealing something. He kept saying it was a simple question while typing and comparing something. Finally, I gave up, said I didn't know, and assumed I was wrong to save time. He did something similar with subsequent questions. Later, I checked online and realized he was comparing my code to GeeksforGeeks solutions. A question can have multiple solutions, and my code worked, but he was comparing loop by loop and variable by variable, calling my code wrong. I tried to explain, but he didn't seem to understand how to reverse a linked list, calling it easy and treating the interview like an interrogation. Very disappointing.
