Entrevista
Pretty smooth process with 4 rounds.
First was a phone round where basic programming concepts were discussed, this was only a vetting round. Second was a DSA round with 2 problems. 1st was based on the concept of Reservoir sampling, 2nd was a modification of the same. Third round was a System design round where I had to implement a analytics logging library. Fourth was Manager round.

Manager round was mostly about understanding personality and culture. This was the round I enjoyed the most as it felt more of a conversation than an interview. I got to ask a lot of question about team culture and processes.

The process took so long, and I feel like I just lost my time.
I had to go through this process for a month, and by the end, I did not receive feedback.
1. Hr Call.
2. Take-home programming test
3.1 Take-home programming test followed by a pair programming test to review the code
3.2 System design. The recruiter told me it would be the same System design interview as always, but they asked me to design something different from what they had asked before.
3.3 Behaviour Interview.
I don't know what Deliveroo wants. All my interviews were positive, but the hiring committee decided not continue with the process. I didn't receive a feedback email saying what happened

Here's a professional expansion:
**Interview Process Experience:**
The process began with a recruiter screen where I engaged positively, acknowledging the recruiter's role in connecting candidates with opportunities. Shortly after, I received an online coding assessment—a standard but telling practice that increasingly signals companies offloading evaluation effort onto candidates' time without reciprocal investment.
**Reflection**: Online tests have become a filtering mechanism that extracts significant energy from job seekers while requiring minimal company resources. For someone with years of proven production experience, certifications, and a track record of delivering measurable impact, these generic assessments rarely capture actual capability or cultural fit. They often favor those who optimize for test-taking over those who excel at building real systems.
This approach suggests a transactional hiring philosophy rather than a genuine evaluation of senior engineering talent. Strong companies invest time upfront in meaningful technical conversations that assess judgment, architectural thinking, and collaboration—not algorithmic puzzle-solving under artificial constraints.
**Takeaway**: I'm seeking organizations that value demonstrated experience and engage candidates as professionals, not as interchangeable test-takers in a volume-driven pipeline.
