IndiaPosted Jul 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for Pocket Gems’ Software Engineer role through a HackerRank-first path, and I found the core technical questions solvable but the process unforgiving.

Online assessment (HackerRank) — I completed a task with LeetCode-style problems.
Tech interview focus — In one case, it immediately moved into a conversation around a binary-search-tree style problem; in another, the OA covered strings and arrays plus a conceptual gaming-related code review. Outcome: I didn’t secure an offer, and the takeaway was that solving the main coding tasks wasn’t always enough—communication, edge cases, or the code review/conceptual part mattered.
