Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Nuance.
Support Engineer
The process was great, with good deep questions. They were transparent about their interviewing process and addressed candidates' concerns as much as possible. Most of the questions were situation questions.
- What were the challenges you faced during COVID?
- What motivates you to seek this position?
Applications Support Engineer
It was an employee referral and took 3 days to finish all 4 rounds, including HR. The technical round was pretty easy, with basic questions on Linux, Windows, and networking. They also asked some scenario-based questions, mostly looking for someone who could manage a shift alone and learn quickly. The first round was a phone call, the second was face-to-face with the manager, and the third was a Skype call with a senior manager from the US.
- Could you explain how to find the second highest salary in an employee table using SQL?
- What exactly are joins in SQL?
- Could you describe the various types of SQL joins along with their syntax?
Applications Support Engineer
The interview process was pretty straightforward and not too tough. The team members were really welcoming and just asked some standard questions. A key tip is to pay close attention and maintain a professional demeanor throughout. I spoke with both the senior manager of the department and the team manager, and they focused more on technical aspects.
- What's your approach to prioritizing tasks, and why are you interested in joining our company? What unique skills or value do you offer for this role?
- How do you decide which tasks to tackle first?
