Itiviti, a Broadridge Business Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The interviewer started by introducing himself, and then I introduced myself. We then discussed my past experience, the technologies I've used, and the details of the projects I've completed. The interviewer asked me questions about all of these topics. Towards the end, I was given a problem to discuss and solve by writing code. It was a really good experience because the discussion and the problem were interesting. It wasn't one of those interviews where they just read out theoretical questions; instead, it focused on my thought process, problem-solving abilities, and how I approach challenges. The conversation with the interviewer was very pleasant.

So I had an online test first, after clearing that HR confirmed and we discussed my salary expectations which they agreed to. Then I had a telephonic round, cleared that too. HR called again about the next round, which would be in their Mumbai office. I told them coming on weekdays was difficult as I work in Pune. For about 40 days, there was no communication. Then they called saying they had a weekend drive and asked if I could attend the final round in person. I said I'd confirm by Friday as I had other plans, but then decided to go. Confirmed Friday, travelled to Mumbai on Saturday for the interview at 2:30 pm. I reached early, 12:30 pm, but HR said the panel wasn't there and would arrive at 2:30 pm, and they'd try to finish quickly. I went for lunch, and then got a call from someone who was copied on the email, saying my chances were slim because my salary expectations were too high. He asked if I still wanted to proceed. It's unprofessional to only discuss this after I've travelled to their office, especially after a long conversation. They should have clarified this during screening. I'm disappointed I wasted a day.

The interview was about 2.5 hours long and had three main sections. We started with some theory questions about OOP, Java, and things related to it. Then, I had to tackle a logic problem and figure out an efficient way to solve it. Finally, I was asked to code a couple of small programs in Java and also write some unit tests for them.
