Dell Technologies Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

It was for UDS storage team, there were 3 rounds: Technical, Techno Managerial, and HR/Salary discussion. The first round was with 2 senior members from Taiwan, and it included live coding on Hackerrank plus some scenario-based questions about Linux and networking. After round 1, HR told me that 2 candidates were shortlisted for the next round, including me, and that we were equally good. They said I would receive the next round invite soon, but I never got an invite or any response. In the end, I was rejected because they decided to go with someone else.

I interviewed for the CSG Rotational Program. The whole thing took about 3 months from application to offer. The process was recruiter screening, then a hackerrank, then a behavioral interview, and finally a technical interview. I really liked all the interviewers. The recruiter screening and behavioral interview were pretty laid-back and natural. The behavioral part is basically a resume review, so make sure you really know your resume and can talk about the technical parts of it. The technical interview was an hour long and had 3 easy-medium leetcode questions, specifically 2 array questions and one string manipulation question. My biggest advice is to do your research! It seems like they really care about culture and finding people who are a good fit for the company.

The interview process started with a 30-minute call with a senior manager where we discussed project details, my expectations, technologies I've used, my work experience, and some general questions about relocation and visa. This was followed by a 1-hour technical round involving pair programming. The task was to implement a set in Java and write test cases for it. The interviewer explained the problem and the session's goals. The focus was on writing test cases before implementing functions like insert, modify, and delete, ensuring all test/edge cases were covered. The final interview was a 2-hour session combining technical and HR aspects. The first hour involved designing and implementing a ping pong game in GoLang, using the VS Code IDE, as the interviewer was more comfortable with Go. We began by discussing the game's design and then implemented the class and some functions. The remaining 40-45 minutes of this round were dedicated to behavioral questions with the manager.
