Phone screening followed by 2 rounds of technical interviews. Even though it was Sydney office, everyone was Chinese. Received offer but declined since they wanted me to go to office to work. Interviewer had to move between meeting rooms like three times during the interview, and I could also see other people peeping into the meeting room to see if it’s vacant. clearly this mandate of going to office is hindering productivity. Offered base pay was lower than my current salary and almost as low as L1 salary at my company, even though the offer was for L2.

Deep dive into past projects, anything that is relevant in software development would be asked, not only backend development. Then the interviewer posed questions about basic concepts and terminologies like locks, process management, memory management, database sharing etc. Ended with a medium Leetcode problem.
