Swiggy Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

First, I had to complete an online assessment with 3 medium-to-hard questions. After solving all of them, I waited about a week or two to get a call for the first interview round. That round went pretty well. We talked about my resume projects and I was asked some questions about them, then I had to solve 2 DSA problems. I got through those, but then got ghosted. About a month after the first round, I was contacted for an HR interview. However, just before that, I received an email saying that they had found someone for the role and wouldn't be moving forward with my application. It was a good learning experience, though. I feel the company should at least send a rejection email if they're not going to proceed with an application. Ghosting isn't a response.

We review your resume and profile to see if you meet the basic requirements and have the skills we're looking for. Then, there's a quick chat with HR or a recruiter to go over your background, career plans, how you communicate, and if you'd be a good fit for our company culture. After that, you'll have a technical interview where we might ask you some questions, give you a coding problem or case study to solve, or discuss a project or problem. This is to check your practical knowledge and how you solve problems. Finally, you'll interview with a manager to discuss real-world situations, teamwork, decision-making, and what the role involves. If all goes well, you'll get an offer and then we'll handle the paperwork and get you started.

I interviewed for a contract Software Development Engineer role at Swiggy. The process involved three main rounds: First, a PSDS (Problem Solving and Data Structures) round with 3-4 medium-difficulty questions. Second, a Low-Level Design (LLD) round focusing on the LLD for a delivery partner payout system, emphasizing extendable and reusable code. Third, a Hiring Manager (HM) round which combined basic System Design, Problem Solving, and a discussion about past projects. The overall experience and interviews went well, leading me to the final discussion stage. However, despite my clear expectations communicated to the vendor, the offered compensation was significantly lower than anticipated. Initially, I accepted the lower amount, but after a week of no communication, they rescinded even that offer. My advice is to avoid such vendors as they can negatively impact your professional reputation.
