The interview process at Clearwater Analytics (CWAN) in Noida had two main rounds. The first was an online CoderPad assessment with two interviewers, involving a pretty simple DSA question that used a greedy approach, which I got through. The second round was supposed to be a face-to-face technical interview at their office, also with two people. The task was to design a custom linked list, which wasn't that hard technically. But honestly, I messed up because it was my first in-person interview and I got flustered. One of the interviewers was really difficult, losing his temper and making the whole thing unprofessional. He seemed more into showing off his seniority and technical smarts than having a real discussion with someone like me with about four years of experience. He even switched from English to casual talk, which was awkward. If he'd been more respectful and supportive, I'm sure I could have solved it. Interviews should be about testing skills fairly, not intimidating people. The other four employees I met were great though – polite, calm, and professional. I hope the company takes this feedback on maintaining a respectful interview culture seriously.

The interview involved a 45-minute telephonic call where I was asked about projects and specific Java concepts like API, database queries, unit testing, annotations, sequence diagrams, microservices, hibernate configuration, garbage collection, and Java 8 features. We also covered design patterns such as Adapter, Visitor, and Command.

Coding Behavioral
The interview process included an HR round and then a coding round with a panel. I solved both problems in the coding round, but unfortunately, I didn't move forward. It felt like a bit of a waste of time, especially with the attitude of one of the panelists who seemed to be trying to show off his supposed superior solution. Not my kind of team. However, one interviewer was quite good. The HR person suggested reapplying in a couple of weeks, which is unlikely to happen.
