First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Nisum.
Senior DevOps Engineer
The interview included 2 technical interviews covering k8s internals, Linux namespaces internals, Docker multi-stage pipelines, and an architectural scenario question on AWS. There was also a task to write a sample multistage Dockerfile. If you pass these, there's a proposal stage.
- Can you describe the architecture of Kubernetes components?
- Can you write a sample docker file for multistage dockerfile?
Software Engineer
The interview process has 3 rounds. The first round is a technical round focusing on basic to mid-level technical questions across various subjects. The second round is another technical round, also with basic to mid-level questions, but the lead might ask random questions depending on their mood. They might still ask about areas you've said you don't have experience in. The third round is with the client or HR, which is usually smooth and straightforward. I passed all these rounds and completed the document verification and got the salary breakup. The role was also confirmed. However, I haven't received an offer letter yet.
- Basic and mid-level questions are asked until the lead or managerial round, but during the lead round, questions might be asked on topics you don't have experience in, based on their mood, even if you mention it.
Automation Engineer
The interview process involves 3 rounds. The first two are technical rounds, and the last one is an HR round. In the first round, they'll ask about your current experience and some basic questions related to your field. The second round requires you to defend your answers from the first round. Finally, the third round is an HR discussion, potentially leading to an offer.
- What's your current experience?
- Can you answer some basic questions in your field?
- Are you able to defend your answers from the first round?
Senior Quality Assurance Analyst
Recruiter picked my CV for an automation engineer role, though I mentioned my strengths are more in manual testing. They started with an automation interview, but the interviewer seemed distracted, repeatedly asking me to repeat myself. He then moved to automation framework questions. When I inquired about the specific job requirements, he confirmed it was for an automation engineer, then left mid-interview and had the QA manager take over. The manager began with basic questions, like asking if I could draw an asterisk pyramid using code. I asked him to focus on the actual role we were interviewing for. He then asked if I had any questions for him. Essentially, they weren't fully engaged throughout the hiring process.
- Can you draw an asterisk pyramid with code?
