Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
First, I had a coding challenge containing 5 coding questions: 3 easy and 2 medium level.
After that, I had 3 rounds of interviews. All 3 rounds contained 1 problem to be solved, along with some domain and programming language-specific questions.
The coding problems in all 3 rounds were:
- 1 data structure-based problem
- 2 algorithm-based problems
It was very smooth, and the interviewers were very polite and humble.
