Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Mouser Electronics.
Software Engineer
So the interview was about core Python concepts and writing code for a scenario, plus optimizing it. They also asked about SDLC and Agile development.
- Could you write a Python function to take a list of numbers, remove duplicates, and then sort them in ascending order?
- After writing the initial code, how would you optimize its time and space complexity?
- What are your thoughts on optimizing the solution using sets and built-in sorting, and the efficiency of various data structures?
Software Engineer Intern
It was a phone screen and an online technical interview. For the internship, there wasn't a panel interview. It was an easy interview for a Web developer intern role. They asked resume questions and web development questions. A few questions about C#, .net.
- Questions primarily from my resume and simple C# .net questions.
- They asked .net questions because I had prior .net experience.
- Some information about SonarQube.
Software Engineer
I got a call for an on-site interview. First, HR talked to me and asked some basic questions about why I applied, my projects, and subjects I liked or disliked. Then, I spoke with a technical person who didn't ask any technical questions but just described the project they were hiring for. At the end, they said they'd let me know if I was selected for the next round, which would be a technical interview the following week. I waited two weeks and sent a few follow-up emails, but got no response. Finally, after four weeks, I got a reply saying I wasn't selected.
- Why Mouser?
- Tell me about your projects.
- What subjects did you like and dislike?
