Ocrolus Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

There will be an interview with most of the questions based on the assignment and some related to your resume. After that, you'll go through the manager round, half an hour, project discussion and company introduction etc.. nothing much. (So, no DSA for interns)

The interview was for 2 hours. The first round was supposed to be a coding round, and I had a fair and smooth experience with no complaints. Then came my second round, which was supposed to be a Design round. However, right from the beginning, my interviewer was not clear on what he was looking for, but no worries. While I was expecting a design question, the interviewer popped me with a coding question, which I didn’t argue but went ahead and tried solving the problem. Another issue here is that he didn’t give any time or space to respond back for his questions, asking questions back-to-back even before I was trying to complete the first answer. This was a very unpleasant experience. What we expect when we are interviewing is better interviewers and clarity on what they are interviewing for. It was just a waste of time for both parties.

Got contacted on LinkedIn by a recruiter for this job. The whole interview process is pretty long, takes about a month and a half. There are 4 interview rounds in total. The first is a coding round, then system design, followed by a chat with the hiring manager, and finally with the VP. After every single round, I had to check in with HR for updates, and even for scheduling, they wouldn't confirm if I passed before setting up the next interview. Once I finished all the interviews, HR called me after about a week to ask about my notice period and salary expectations. She said she'd call back, and the next day when I called her, she told me I wasn't selected and they wouldn't be moving forward. It felt like a complete waste of time and was really disappointing to interview at ocrolus. Definitely not recommended.
