Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

  • HackerRank.
  • Recorded video interview.
  • Grad day, which comprises a group work session, a research project presentation, and a standard behavioral interview.

The HackerRank was easy. The recorded video interview was also easy, as you're given 10 minutes per question to think through your answer. Grad day was also standard, except for the research and presentation. They were looking for depth instead of breadth in the presentation. Apparently, depth shows more dedication and interest in technical topics.

Questions

The process was:

  • HackerRank: SQL, problem solving, and basic Data Structures and Algorithms questions.
  • Recorded video interview.
  • Grad day: Group work sessions were on solving a problem together and presenting your solution. The research project was on improving a theoretical web service.
