Legrand Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I had a chat with the recruiter first. Then I moved on to the Hiring Manager screening, which lasted about 30 minutes. Finally, there was a technical in-person round. The job duties, both in the description and during the conversation, seemed pretty light, mostly dealing with commercial LED appliances.

You start by sending in your resume, and then they'll give it a quick look. After that, a recruiter or hiring manager will have a short chat with you over the phone or video.

So I went to their building and had to call the interviewer on his personal cell when I arrived. They had moved offices and the receptionist wasn't being utilized. The interview started off really conversational, almost like a behavioral interview since we talked soccer for a while. Then, he asked me to convert a binary number to an integer in C. I was a bit surprised because I thought the role was for C#/JavaScript, but I went with it. I mentioned it's been a while since I coded in C, but I could still do it. I spent the rest of the time coding and managed to get it working on the first try. At the end, the interviewer seemed a bit down and gave me a brief, unenthusiastic tour of the office. They are upfront about their hiring practices; they don't typically hire interns long-term, intending to replace them with new interns after a year.
