The interview process included a Round 1 coding assessment, followed by a Round 2 Live HackerRank coding challenge with one question that was similar to a medium-level scheduling problem on LeetCode. The final Round 3 was an onsite interview that consisted of a 1-hour behavior session, a 1-hour technical interview, and 1 hour of brain teasers. It seemed like a very crackable interview. This looked like a great company with a good package, and the recruiters and interviewers were helpful with scheduling and honest in negotiations.

Before the actual interview, there was a test on HackerRank. It had two programming logic questions (you could pick your language) and one SQL database question. The test was pretty straightforward. After that, I had an interview with the manager, which was also relaxed. He asked about my background and what I know about programming. There was a logic question on HackerRank. He also mentioned my interest in learning new programming languages. Following the manager's interview, I spoke with HR. They inquired about my hobbies, my journey so far, the reasons behind my course of study, and why I'd be a good fit for the company.

Started with company orientation then a technical aptitude test. Lots of probing questions about problem solving and technical abilities, especially related to the mining industry. Didn't get a vibe they cared about teamwork or learning, just existing technical skills. The office tour didn't feel like a fun place, no joking or laughter around.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you provide a working solution for problem x using program y?
  • Given this situation, can you come up with an algorithm to solve the problem?
