Allegion Hardware Test / Validation Engineer interviews, decoded.

It was the first round. There were 2 panelists in the interview, but one interviewer was being oversmart. My suggestion is, if you are that smart, why aren't you working for companies like Facebook and Google? Everyone comes from different companies with different domain expertise, so try to ask conceptual questions and not just about what you know. That interviewer had no patience to listen to any answer. I request HR not to assign such people for interviews, otherwise, this search will be a never-ending process.

So first there was this online test, it had quant, logic, and verbal stuff. Then a group discussion round, the topic was "Should English language be done as our national language". After that, a technical round. I got through to the technical round but unfortunately didn't pass it.

I had to do an online test first with some basic testing questions. After that, I went for a face-to-face interview at their office. I didn't get any feedback on how I did in that round, even though I think I answered most of the questions.
