Applications Support Engineer Interview Experience

November 1, 2017
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied online. Received a 15-minute HireVue challenge, which was entirely behavioral. This was followed by a coding challenge. The online challenge was followed by a telephonic screen. No offer was received. The interviewer was late and rude. She was asking questions as if it were a rapid-fire round. Worst interview format.

Questions

You need to choose two languages. There will be algorithmic questions in each of the two languages, which are pretty easy and straightforward.

Apart from this, there will be many theoretical questions, where they test how well you know your chosen languages. These include conceptual questions along with the expected output for given blocks of code.

There is also a math question where a couple of problems on probability are asked.

The telephonic round is also similar. They ask conceptual and input/output questions in your chosen languages. Algorithmic questions are very straightforward. Expect 4-5 questions on probability and stats as well.

There are a few questions on threads, mutexes, etc., and in the last, they will ask a design question.

The whole process is very annoying.
