Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Pune, India

December 1, 2017
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

First round - Telephonic screening - Technical, Second round - F2F technical, Third round - Managerial + Technical

For the first round the person was late, I had to call HR and ask them to reach out to me, the telephonic round took place for about 45 mins. Asked basic Java questions and a couple of simple programming and design questions. Post this they called me to their office for F2F. This was a technical round as well, questions ranged from create a Set to Multithreading.

Then there was a managerial round where the person started with more questions pertaining to my soft skills, and then moved to design questions such as LRU cache and design CDN type edge networks. Post this the person also explained to me in detail the products and what Qualys is into. The HR had me slotted for Senior Software Engineer in Test position even though they advertised this position as Senior Software Engineer, I asked HR to only consider me for Development roles. The Manager who took the last round was ok with this since they had open positions for the same, but even after following up a couple of times they did not revert to me with the interview feedback.

Only tip to recruiters is that at least have the courtesy to drop an email saying a person is not selected as they put time and effort to apply and come for the process
