Software Engineering Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
I applied online for the Software Engineering Intern position.
After 2-3 weeks, I received a link for a HackerRank Online Assessment. The assessment consisted of:
- Technical MCQs: 7 questions (85 points). Some questions included negative marking (-1).
- Coding Questions: 3 questions (100 + 100 + 20 points).
- One question was based on a segment tree, which I solved successfully, scoring 100/100.
- The second question was difficult and covered the topic of "Digit DP" (100 points).
- The third question was easy and could be solved using a hash map (20 points).
I was confident I would get a call from the Postman recruiter but received a rejection email the next day. I solved all questions except the "Digit DP" question.
I would suggest the company consider asking more difficult questions; even the segment tree question was not of medium difficulty. The company heavily focuses on open-source development. There should be an option for candidates to choose between an Online Assessment or a "Take-Home Assignment."
