Sberbank interview questions

The interview started with a quick introduction about my background, followed by a coding challenge to optimize a SQL query. I was then asked to compare REST and GraphQL APIs, explaining their pros and cons. Next, I designed a scalable architecture for an e-commerce platform, focusing on load balancing and database efficiency. The interview wrapped up with questions about teamwork, deadlines, and adaptability, offering a good balance of technical and soft skills evaluation.

Extremely lengthy interview process lasted for 2 months with unnecessary and repititive 6 rounds. Post which the offer was given with a significant paycut. The company is confused and completely unprofessional. They knew my ctc from day 1 but still wasted my time and efforts. They also revoked an offer of a candidate 2 days before joining rendering them jobless. Be extremely careful before joining such company. Also the Indian interviewers are extremely aggresive and difficult to work with.
