Behavioral

This was just the initial screening interview. They were understanding about me having just finished my military service and asked about its extent. They enjoyed hearing about my experiences during and after college as a new grad. The interview was mostly in English, which was manageable. They inquired about my salary expectations, which felt a little unusual for a fresh grad but I understood their reasoning. This was only the first interview; I'll keep you posted.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • Can you describe your military service degree?
  • Could you elaborate on your professional experiences, including activities and roles undertaken both during and outside of your college studies?
  • Switching to English, how comfortable are you with conducting our interview in English?

Technical Coding Behavioral

The interview process started with an initial telephonic round with a developer. After clearing that, I was invited to their office for further rounds. Although I didn't bring my laptop, they expected me to do a test managed by a consultancy HR. Upon arrival, the HR person was quite upset with the consultancy HR for not sending me with a laptop, which was a very poor start. The face-to-face interview began, and unfortunately, I was rejected in the very first round. It's surprising for a company aspiring to be a major player in the Saudi region to lack basic infrastructure like a spare laptop for candidates, reflecting poorly on their HR policies and operational readiness. It's essential to respect candidates who travel to the office, especially in extreme heat (43C). The overall impression was very negative.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • How to calculate the minimum element in a stack at any given time?
  • Implement a random function to generate a random number between two integers.
  • Tell me about your projects.
