Numecent Interview Questions
& Process

I first spoke with a recruiter at a university career fair and did a quick on-the-spot interview covering some basic computer science concepts. After passing that, I was invited for an in-person interview. During the in-person interview, I met with two people. The first person asked me a lot about my resume, focusing on my coursework and project experience, and then asked some C++ questions. The second person also asked about my resume and projects, and then asked some questions that seemed more hardware-related.

So I had 3 rounds for this role. The first was a technical round where we discussed programming and OOP concepts, though I didn't have to code anything. Since I have a hardware background, they asked a few computer architecture questions too, which weren't too tough. The second round was all about solving puzzles to test logic. The interviewers were super chill and helpful, even offering a hand if I got stuck, which I didn't need.

The first part screened basic SDLC questions, like talking about different models, their weaknesses, and why Agile is preferred. The second round involved the hiring manager going over my resume and asking about my roles and how I handled situations, along with testing and development questions. The third round had logic questions (math and other types to gauge thinking and persistence) and an executive meeting, which was similar to the resume overview but focused more on understanding leadership. Overall, I learned a lot.

In total there were 3 rounds. Round 1 was a 1:1 with the CTO, Round 2 was Coding with peers, and Round 3 was the Behavioural round. I did not get the offer because I had less work experience than the position required.
