The interviewer did not ask for a self-introduction, which made the session feel abrupt and impersonal.
I was not given enough time to think through or explain my approach to coding questions. For example, I was told “we don’t have much time” for a Streams question, even though over 30 minutes were still left in the session.
Several questions seemed unrelated to my experience or were not reflected in my CV — for example, Swagger and frontend templates — even though my CV clearly highlights backend microservices experience.
Communication was poor during the call: there was background noise, and the interviewer frequently stayed silent while I asked clarifying questions, which forced me to repeatedly ask if I was audible.
At the end, I was told they were looking for a Senior Engineer, which was inconsistent with the role I was invited for (Java Software Engineer).
Overall, the process did not provide a fair opportunity to demonstrate my skills. I hope Infosys improves interviewer preparation, communication, and ensures clear role alignment during interviews.
