Fujitsu Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

Had a programming language test to check my knowledge level. The questions were medium complexity and were coding problem-solving questions. Then had an HR interview to align goals and expectations. Finally, a manager interview to assess my experience and seniority level.

The first round interview was a 45-minute technical interview with a developer from Fujitsu on July 10. We used a shared document with a coding problem to solve and explain. The editor was basic, and I used Java. The problem was easy (LeetCode easy), solved in 30 mins, and we reviewed it line by line. I was told a recruiter would contact me about results. I had mixed but mostly good feelings. I got positive feedback in about a week. There was some confusion about my point of contact and if they wanted a Senior engineer. On August 2, after some emails, I was asked for availability for the second round.

The application process was pretty quick and straightforward. It had 5 stages, all done online: initial application, strengths-based assessment, video interview, assessment day, and the final interview. I applied in Jan 2023. I got the online assessment request the same day, the video interview 3 days later, the assessment centre in 23 days, and the final interview invite 24 days after applying. Fujitsu was fast with this compared to others. The strengths assessment was standard for grad roles, average difficulty. The video interview was also straightforward, asking about me, my experiences, and what I know about the industry/Fujitsu. The online assessment centre was a good experience, I got to know other candidates and colleagues and learned more about Fujitsu and life there. We talked to current grads, asked questions about career paths after the grad role. There was a monitored group task, which was fun for getting to know candidates and showing teamwork/communication. The assessment centre also included a presentation I prepared and gave alone. The assessment day was well organized and a good experience. Soon after the assessment centre (3:30 PM the same day), I was invited to the final interview the next day. Even with less than 24 hours notice and my graduation ceremony that morning, I accepted because I'm passionate about the role. The interview was one-on-one with a second observer. It went well, I connected with the interviewers who were friendly. The interview focused on my past experiences and how I've used my skills. It felt more like a natural conversation than a Q&A. The interviewer thought I'd get an offer and I should hear back early the next week. But I didn't hear back that week or since. The online portal says 'under consideration' even though the role start date has passed. I've tried contacting recruitment but got no response, which is unprofessional for Fujitsu. While it's understandable if I'm not a fit, after spending hours on the process, I expected some feedback or a decision, not to be ignored.
