Daimler Truck AG Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The interviewer seemed very hopeful before, during, and after the interview. A few days later, I got an email saying they decided to go with an internal candidate. There was another job opening in the same team and with the same manager, which I also applied for. The email mentioned that if they couldn't find a suitable candidate, they might reach out to me again. It felt like I was a backup while they looked for others and chose the easier option. It seemed like they prioritized convenience over hiring based on actual skills.

So I had 3 rounds for this Software Engineer role. The first was a coding round, where I was given two problems, one easy and one medium. Each had a time limit: 30 minutes for the easy one and an hour for the medium. If I got both solutions right, I'd hear back about the next stage. The second round was a technical interview. The interviewer was really nice, asked me to introduce myself and talk about my projects, then we got into coding questions. Started with bubble sort, then another easy one. Nail those and explain them, and you move on. The last round was with the manager. They were also super polite, went over my resume, and asked general stuff like my strengths and weaknesses.
