Software Engineer Interview Experience - New Delhi, India
Process
American Express on-Campus first conducted a written round. This round consisted of two sections: quantitative and DBMS (SQL queries), plus some subjective questions based on business situations.
The quantitative section was very easy to solve, and the SQL queries were a little complex.
In the interview round, the interviewer asked non-technical questions, such as those about current affairs and general questions like how Google searches a query and how our PC searches for a file. He also asked about the difference between Linux and Windows and to explain one project that I mentioned on my resume.
