Software Engineer
It starts with an interview about your past software engineering experience. Then, we move on to a system design discussion with a mentor. The final stage is about why you're interested in joining DeNA.
- What technologies are you currently studying?
Software Engineer
I had a coding test that lasted about 90 minutes, then they reviewed my documents. After that, there was a technical interview for 60-90 minutes, followed by a 90-minute workshop interview. Then there was a follow-up interview, and finally a behavioral interview.
- Can you describe your previous development work?
Software Engineer
A job placement agency reached out about this role. I had an onsite interview where I was asked standard questions like data structures and basic coding problems on a whiteboard. After that, I was given a timed take-home assignment to build a web application. Even though I mentioned web applications aren't my strongest area, they wanted to see how quickly I could learn a new technology and solve a problem under a deadline. I spent the night experimenting with different frameworks using tutorials and eventually settled on Heroku. I worked through the night and then presented the finished project to the hiring manager.
- Using a technology of your choice, could you build a web application to store user data, fish information, and details on breeding new fish, while also providing an interface for several sample queries?
