Swiggy Software Engineer interview experience

Posted Dec 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a pretty focused sequence for the SDE-1 (Java) track at Swiggy: DSA first, then an LLD round, and finally a hiring manager conversation.

Even before I got to the later rounds, the DSA round set a tense tone because the interviewer felt difficult and the questions were very direct. I was asked a problem around counting/constructing unique binary search trees, and I also had to answer Java/Spring Boot questions alongside it.

The Java portion pushed me to be crisp about fundamentals rather than just talk through ideas. The whole round felt like it moved fast and expected accuracy, and the interviewer didn’t make it easy to recover when I hesitated. By the time I wrapped up that DSA round, I had the sense that the bar was high
