Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at HPE COXA.
Software Developer
The interview process was completed in a single day. It started with a written test focused on C language technical questions, with a tight time limit. Success depended on in-depth subject knowledge. Next was a technical round that heavily focused on resume content, specifically C and C++ concepts, particularly for candidates from an ECE background. Confidence and clear communication about resume points were key. The process concluded with a friendly HR round.
- Were there any unexpected questions asked during the interview?
Software Development Engineer
I had a quick chat with HR first, then a technical interview with a senior architect. After that, we had a 1:1 where they looked over my resume and asked me about the processes I've worked with, challenges I've faced, and my overall experience and skills.
- Can you describe the most complex project you've worked on?
- What challenges have you faced and what processes have you used in your experience?
- What are your skills and experience?
Software Engineer
The first round was a pen and paper test with 55 questions total: 12 quant, 8 english, and 35 technical (C/C++/OS/SQL). It was a mass elimination round, with only about 30 people out of over 600 qualifying. The English and quant parts were easy, but the technical section was the toughest, with most questions asking to find the output and being tricky. Focus on finding outputs. The second round was technical and managerial, and the third round was with HR.
- Can you describe the development cycle process of a product?
- Tell me about your projects in depth.
