Interview
I interviewed through my college placement. It was basically three rounds - online test, technical interview and technical + hr interview. The questions asked in the interview was relatively easy to me if you know basic knowledge of DSA. Also, the questions in hr round were mostly related to projects.

The interview was good. They asked a lot of dsa questions regarding trees and linked lists. They told to write a code for the given question and also asked how it can be optimized

Interview
Vague and Unprepared
I am unsure if the interviewer was ready to take up the interview. Firstly the interviewer was late, the environment was super noisy and was also idle for the next 10 minutes. Secondly the interviewer was going through my resume during the call.
The questions were not Front End related but more towards DS and Algo and that too typical Leetcode questions.
Despite answering the questions in the best possible way and the worst possible way, the interviewer seemed very much interested in sharing "his own" way of solving the problem. Also the interviewer insisted to not solve a Leetcode problem the "leedcode" way. I am unsure how I should be taking this feedback.
Overall - sounds like a place where the emphasis is given more towards DS Algo and not really on the day-to-day activities in a software engineering world.
