Blume Global Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

There were 2 interview rounds. First was a Technical round with a Senior Software Engineer, and the second was a Techno Managerial Round with a Manager. The interview process went smoothly since I applied through campus placement. Each round lasted for 1 hour, and there was a 2-hour gap between them.

The first interview round went well, with a variety of questions. The second round was with the manager, who was completely unprofessional. He didn't respond and just asked questions, ignoring my answers. When I asked about the role since he was asking DevOps questions, he said they have many openings and will place me where I fit. This makes me question why a job description was shared. Do candidates have preferences, or are employers just giving away leftover positions? As others have mentioned, the HR person never followed up or answered calls.

First, there was a Hackerrank test with 5 questions. You had to code one question in Java, and then choose any 2 out of the remaining 4, with no language restriction. The questions were hard DS algo, like code chef. Then, Round 2 was DS Algo again. The first question was a Leetcode Two Sum with a target. The second was to find the intersection node of two linked lists. You had to code these in a code pen. There were also some questions about REST. Round 3 was a Java round focusing on Java 8 features and Spring Annotations. These were all theory questions. Round 4 was a techno/manager round. They asked all the Java 8 questions again, plus some manager-level questions like 'where do you see yourself in 10 years?', 'how does a normal day look for you?', 'SOLID principles', and 'Why did you apply here?'. Finally, Round 5 was an HR round with normal HR questions about company fit and why you applied.
