Real Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Interviewed for a Senior Software Developer role. The technical round focused on multithreading and hashsets problem. I was able to solve both of them correctly and explain my reasoning clearly during the discussion. Despite this, I received a generic rejection email stating they would proceed with other candidates. When I asked for detailed feedback, there was no response. For senior-level positions, candidates invest significant time and preparation. A completely generic rejection without structured feedback reflects poorly on the hiring process. Transparency and professional courtesy should be standard at this level.

I had my first interaction with the company through a call with an Indian recruiter. There was no introduction or context provided at the beginning of the conversation. The recruiter jumped straight into asking why I wanted to work there, followed immediately by a coding exercise that involved creating an endpoint. I was told not to worry about completing the exercise fully—but unfortunately, I never received any follow-up afterward.
