First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Bitwise.
Software Engineer
At Bitwise, my interview was pretty straightforward and gave me a good understanding of things. It was mainly about checking my object-oriented programming skills in Java. They asked some technical questions to see how well I knew OOP concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, and if I could use them in real situations.
- Can you explain what the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is and why it's crucial for Java applications?
- What is the importance of the final keyword in Java, and in what contexts can it be used?
Programmer
It was a technical process. Not much quant aptitude was asked and it contained technical questions in the first round. The interview was conducted off-campus. It started online, then there was a coding round, then a technical interview, and finally an HR round conducted by the DM. Overall, it was a good process.
- Questions were asked based on your technology of interest.
Programmer
I had applied for Bitwise off-campus recruitment drive in 2019. The first round was Aptitude + SQL ( MCQ Questions ). Questions were quite easy. Cleared the interview easily. I got a call for Group Discussion round the next day. Third round was the Technical Coding round. A time slot of 15 minutes was given to write down three codes. Execute both if and else statements. Remove adjacent characters from a string. Sum of a number until a single digit number. These codes then have to be explained to the technical head as to what logic you have used. They will try to confuse you but you should stay on your point and explain the programs. I received an e-mail after one week for the final round. This round was a Technical+HR round.
- Could you introduce yourself?
- Can you explain inner join queries?
- What about where clause queries?
