Software Engineer Interview Experience - Malaysia
Process
The entire process from the start was in shambles. A recruiter phoned me for a position I never applied for, but fine.
Onto setting up the coding interview, the people involved were very unorganized, on vacation, and lacking urgency. For example, I only received the meeting invite the day before, and that was after I asked for it.
The coding interview was fine. It was done through HackerRank, but because of the part about HR personnel being on vacation, I couldn't ask what to study. Thus, the coding interview was not what I prepared for. Also, because the job posting was never available to begin with, I was basically going in blind.
The interview format was supposed to be 30 minutes coding, 15 minutes React questions. But it ended up being 10 minutes chatting, 5 minutes to read the coding prompt, only 15 minutes to code a solution (not possible), and then 15 minutes of React questions.
All in all, the format was interesting, but the entire interview process was not designed to pass anyone who didn't already have all the answers.
Obviously, I didn't pass, but the interviewer was nice.
Questions
React refactoring, Java API data manipulation.

- 1.0Join and ruin your careerSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaSeptember 29, 2019Pros: The Indian arm of Fidelity Investments gets huge support from the US, hence you have greater transparency with the organization. Very good compensation scales and equal pay according to your grade, which is very rarely seen. A variety of benefits like: * Insurance cover * Meal card worth 1150 every month * Flexible timing * Free transport * Work from home option * Good leave policyCons: If you get offered a Java/Fullstack developer role and the hiring BU is Asset Management, and you decide to get onboard, congratulations, you will ruin your career. After you join, they will ask you to do testing also. According to them, a fullstack developer is the one who does backend development, automation testing, and manual testing. And that too, the tools used are a decade old. There is no scope outside, and no use of anything, as whatever you learn will not help you in the future for other companies. It's a very toxic work environment with no work-life balance. Often, you will end up staying till late night. There are very short and strict deadlines. They will also make you work in L2 support. On the weekends, you have to attend to bug fixes. Yes, think many times before you join this BU.
