I applied online. I interviewed at NeenOpal (Bengaluru) in Jan 2026
Interview
The first round went well overall, but I am not very confident about the final result. During the interview, I was asked two SQL questions and one SQL swapping question. The SQL questions focused on identifying customers who ordered more than once and handling NULL values in orders.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One question was about identifying customers who ordered more than once, and another was about handling NULL values in orders.
Very disappointing interview experience.
After clearing the initial technical round, I met with a co-founder for the second round.
During the conversation, my prior experience was repeatedly questioned and dismissed. When I explained my background and skill set, I was unexpectedly given a FAANG-level hard SQL problem to solve on the spot.
The coding environment had database-specific defaults that were not clearly communicated. When issues arose because of environment-specific syntax differences, no clarification or guidance was provided despite the session being actively observed. This made the exercise feel more like a gotcha test than a genuine assessment of technical ability.
The overall interaction felt dismissive, adversarial, and unnecessarily discouraging. Rather than evaluating a candidate fairly, the process gave the impression that the goal was to find reasons to reject candidates. I left feeling that my time had been wasted and would not recommend the interview experience.
