Dassault Systèmes Java Developer Interview Questions
& Process

The company management is totally ridiculous. I applied for a Java developer position and went through all the programming and interview rounds. Even after getting positive feedback, they are not releasing the offer letter. The complete interview process took around 5-6 effective hours of mine, in this Covid-19 crucial situation. The HR is not even contacting me or replying to my emails. From some other sources, I got to know that the HR I am trying to contact has left the company and they have lost the data. This was not expected from such a big company. They are wasting the time of candidates. Think twice before applying. Such a cheater company.

They conducted the interview process in Hyderabad. The first round was a pen and paper MCQ on Java, covering code output, servlets, and threads, along with writing code for Pascal's triangle and finding array subsets that sum to a given integer. This round had no negative marking and was considered easy. The second round was also pen and paper, focusing on general intelligence with negative marking, featuring questions like guessing mirror images and number series. The third round was a pen and paper aptitude test, ranging from average to difficult with negative marking; it had 20 questions, and solving 10-13 was advisable. Passing this round depended on good overall performance in all tests. The fourth round was a face-to-face technical interview covering threads, collections, explaining code written during the test, and some logical questions like guessing the number of squares in a 4x4 grid or a riddle about children and apples.

It was a weekend walk-in drive on Saturday in Ahmedabad. First, there was a general intelligence aptitude test with 40 questions in 15 minutes, including quant, reasoning, and verbal sections, with 0.25 negative marking. Following that, a quantitative aptitude test had 20 questions in 30 minutes with 0.5 negative marking, which had good questions. The third test was a technical one, comprising 3 programming questions and 12 MCQs of easy to medium difficulty. Candidates who passed this stage proceeded to a Technical Interview and then an HR Interview.
