ConsultAdd Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

So the interview process for this role usually has DSA LeetCode medium questions and then some resume based questions. They also focus a lot on your communication skills. You can typically expect around 2-3 technical rounds, and then one managerial round. Plus, they'll quiz you on computer science fundamentals.

So the interview started with a technical round where they threw 3 coding questions at me, ranging from moderate to hard difficulty. After that, there were three more technical interview rounds. The first of these was noticeably easier than the other two. They really focused on OOPS concepts, how well I understood DBMS and OS, and basic data structures. For instance, I was asked to implement a stack using a linked list. The next interview round ramped up the difficulty a bit. I got a prefix sum coding question, some SQL queries, and more OOPS concepts, plus a brief chat about my project. The last interview round felt like a mix of technical and HR stuff.

The interview process started with an aptitude test that had easy and medium questions. Next, there was a coding round with two medium questions related to Arrays and Strings. Interestingly, there was no compiler available. After writing the code, I was given a test case to iterate through and had to explain my code within 5 minutes in the provided space. The final round was a technical interview where they didn't ask me DSA questions as mentioned on my resume, surprisingly. Instead, they asked a few questions on core fundamentals and discussed my previous projects briefly. This interview was less than 20 minutes, and they ended it quickly, making me feel they weren't interested. They only selected 2 students from a batch of 70 in the first technical round. After the second round, no students were selected from the Indore and Ujjain campuses combined.
