Process

Aptitude/Technical Online Test:

Hosted by Mettl, it contained seven sections, out of which two were coding. One coding section was very easy, and the other was hard. The aptitude section was easy, containing people-sitting-in-a-circle type questions.

Technical Interview:

This round was also very easy. It contained basic C and C++ questions, puzzles, and questions about my internships.

Managerial Interview:

I felt this was more of a tech interview. It asked some general questions and a database design question.

HR Interview:

This was more like a casual talk and some "how will you handle a situation" questions.

Questions

Tech: Explain recursion and iteration to me as if I have no idea about them whatsoever. Why choose one over the other?

Puzzle: A person has 53 socks in a bag: 21 blue, 17 red, and 15 black. How many socks should they take out to ensure they have 2 black socks?

Design a relational database for a huge retailer like Big Bazaar that also sells online.

Low pay, very slow salary growth, not-so-good benefits, but nice people

Software Engineer • Former Employee

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Pros: - Nice and smart people. - Nice office in the heart of the download location. - Great culture.

Cons: - Lots of old staff there, but doing not so important work. - The office is getting smaller and less facilitated. It took a year to fix a kitchen. - Benefits got cut annually. Many smaller companies offer better benefits. - Low compensation, not competitive at all, only suitable for new grads in terms of compensation. - Not so chill work, lots of pressure when it comes to broken production and not meeting the deadline. - Company revenue is going down: bonus cut, funding cut, layoffs, office expense cut, lunch program cut (even taxable). No increase even with 10% inflation. - Very slow salary growth (not suitable for senior or experienced staff). - SAP doesn't really listen to employees' voices. Open surveys are pretty much useless.
