      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      19 Nov 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Nov 2024

      Interview

      The interviewer was being racist. I was part of 3 rounds; Round 1: Screening Call (30 minutes - with Sumeet Kapoor and Interviewer 2). Interviewer 2 Asking normal screening questions about my experience and Sumeet Kapoor was just asking me why I was working on CPT? Round 2: HackerRank Technical Assessment(LC medium). I was able to pass with a 100% score with ease because I was preparing for Amazon interviews. Round 3: Technical One-on-One with Sumeet Kapoor (1 hour): I was asked to do peer programming on HackerRank. I passed all the test cases on my own. (Initially, I made a minor mistake in the code, for which Sumeet suggested 2 solutions—any of them did not work.) I changed the whole approach, and I passed all the test cases. We had 25 minutes left after this for Technical questions. But he asked only 2 questions and again came to the screening call, asking why I was working on CPT. I answered it again in detail, but his behavior showed that he was being racist to me and ended the interview. The main thing: During the interview, he went away from the camera screen a couple of times. That clearly indicates that He was not interested in taking my interview properly.
