Majid Al Futtaim Group Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

HR called me about the job, and my interviews were set up two days after. I had three technical interviews: the first was about data structures and algorithms, the second covered high-level system design, and the third was about low-level system design and also had a managerial component.

The HR was awful. The hiring process included a phone screen, and sometimes an HR interview plus two technical interviews. I got rejected after 4 months and then a recruiter reached out again a few days later. They contacted me regularly, at least every two months. I agreed to try again because they were so persistent. A recruiter contacted me for a senior position, which matched my level. My CV went to her manager who contacted me and said it was a mid-level role. I mentioned the recruiter said it was senior, and she responded aggressively, stating I was wrong and that the recruiter wouldn't make a mistake. Their treatment of people outside their power is questionable, and I wonder how they'd treat employees. Despite multiple chances, they consistently proved to be the worst.

I had an online interview that lasted about an hour. It started with me introducing myself, and then we moved on to some technical and design questions. There were also two problem-solving questions, one for SQL and one for arrays. Most of the questions covered the request cycle, protocols, data structures, and Microservices.
