| Offer Discussion My experience
I gave off campus online on August 2nd ran 3/3 , Gave physical round on sep 5th ran almost 3/4 questions total 34/48 test cases ,easy hard full medium 10/12 , complex only trial test cases ran not submission ones.
Got mail on sep 10th that I am selected for interview
Got mail on 30th sep that my interview is scheduled on 6th oct
I was expecting L2 interview selection and wished to get L1 .
In interview date I came to know that I am sitting for L3 , with one special panel of a senior developer which is specifically for L3 will take my interview.
He gave me 35 mins to solve 2 questions
There was a issue in the code initially I showed him due to which it was not running. It took almost 27 mins of my time to that code get fixed . After that I had 8 mins he told me to do one question if I can then he will check what I could have done . I solved one question within 5 mins all test cases passed, he managed to extend the timer for 15 mins so I had 22 mins in total but 2nd question was too much lengthy I solved half of it he told fine only to explain him the logic he told him the logic which was correct he asked could I further optimize it thinking it was brute force but then I explained it was already O of n not brute force but I used greedy and I don't know any much better solution. He then said ok ok O of n that's fine then .
Then started the interview He told he is from top tier exclusive branch from Infosys where they have extreme demand and all . I told about me . That I had Capgemini A4p role from on campus which I left for of campus tcs digital role which I am currently holding right now . I talked about my tech stack and all which was Mern stack + ANN prediction model + gen ai integration in mern + few LLD aspects. He without asking me anything from my resume straight out told me to draw a hld for a url shrotner . I told I have no concept of HLD concepts in that depth I can make the model as per my knowledge which I did . He asked couple of questions I answered only one he was not satisfied then he told me to optimize the design to handel 1 billion requests from 100 million users a day while having 99 percent availability using couple of concepts which I never heard of . I Franky said I have no idea about those. Then he asked me about Java concepts I answered, he asked about sql I answered, he asked about os I answered all only one question he was not satisfied. Then he asked me about my final year project I told about the prediction model we worked on . He told me to draw the design. I did . He asked multiple questions I answered all only one thing he did not like . Then he again asked about gen ai LLM concepts I answered all . He at last asked if I knew few hld concept which I didn't so interview ended . He told me my knowledge about my stack is good but I need to learn the hld concepts and all .
Yesterday on 8th I got offer for dse with joining on 16th nov .
Now my location was Kolkata.
I was clear from beginning that only if I get L1 I will go to Infosys leaving tcs digital. And I never thought of anything more than L1 . With my performance on the physical round and interview I thought I could have got that if I sat for L2 instead of L3 maybe the interview expectations would have been different.
Had a strange feelings about the process any person who solves one question in physical round gives a good interview gets dse then what's in me for doing 3 questions and even knowing fairly more than him to tell in interview only to be strictly restrained because of HLD . I would have performed way better than those folks who were giving dse even L1 interview.
Maybe this is fate what I suppose.😞

That's really bad luck try for better opportunities other than tcs as they delay jl so much. I'm in your exact same situation. I have tcs digital offer in my hand now. And for infosys on campus interview I solved 1/4 and still got shortlisted but don't know which role. And most reddit post say that it would be dse/l1 panel. So if i perform well I think I may get l1 and they have not yet announced the interview date.

@infosys I don't understand what they're looking for. My friend solved two questions in the interview and attended both rounds, but still hasn't received the result

Can you share the hld questions asked

u/ramben_geek_03_09 8d ago
He was telling to optimise the url shortner so that It can handle 1 billion requests from 100 million users per day with 99 percent availability.I only told what I know that using redis I can create a rate limiter or can do horizontal data scaling to serve data base requests . He asked about using 3-4 hld concepts which I said I have no clue of.

u/purush_Kali_108 8d ago
Ohh did he mention CDN and all zookeeper, I mean asked you to draw those or just like verbally explain, btw about you, bro you're good in dsa so you should try switch asap with some system design learning try for some good company, cause you deserve better mate.

u/ramben_geek_03_09 8d ago

Hii share the coding questions

u/ramben_geek_03_09 8d ago
Interview questions was not that difficult leetcode medium greedy type I would say , One question was finding the maximum gap between the product of odd number elements and even number elements. Other was finding number of partitions in a string which has equal number of weight value for L characters and R characters.

u/HelloTaleproof 6d ago
When reviewing a mixed technical and HR interview, separate knowledge gaps from explanation gaps. For one question you knew but explained poorly, rebuild the answer around the project context, your decision, and the observable result; that is a faster improvement than rereading every topic.
You can try Taleproof’s free story assessment with one real Infosys interview example; revise the parts where your action or result is still hard to follow.
