Coding
The first stage was a coding assessment on the Coderbyte platform, lasting 1 hour and 45 minutes. It had three questions: one SQL, one graph, and one array. The SQL question involved joins and group by, and was easy. The array question used hashmaps and was easy. The graph question was about the shortest path from the first to the last node, which was hard for beginners but medium for those familiar with graphs. I got the results within a day but was not selected. After the coding round, there was a direct interview with the team lead, which was the final round. My suggestion is to try to solve all 3 questions fully, or at least the hard one with half the test cases and the other two fully. Solving the hard one is the best chance to get selected. Happy coding. Life moves on, better opportunities will come to you. Thank you.

Coding Technical
Applied online, and after about two weeks, I got an email for a coding challenge, which was like a medium LeetCode problem. They gave me an hour, but I did it in about 20 minutes. Then, a few days later, I had a quick screening call with HR. A couple of days after that, I got invited to the final round, a technical interview with LeetCode-style questions. You just solve them, no talking to the interviewer, they just watch. You can use Google if you ask them first. After each problem, you get the next one. If you can't solve a problem, the interview stops. I got one question from LeetCode and one from Advent of Code. I couldn't answer some follow-ups, so they stopped the interview.

Coding Behavioral Technical Technical
It started with a simple online coding test, followed by an HR interview and a cognitive test. Then, a technical interview. The whole thing was pretty quick and the HR person was really nice and helpful. The senior software engineer conducting the technical interview was great too, giving me tips to improve my first approach during the coding part. The technical interview covered a few things: first, coding, where I could use my preferred language. It wasn't super hard, more like easy to medium LeetCode problems, but it really tested my grasp of algorithms, data structures, and complexity. Second, dataset design, which was a cool, high-level task to check OOP skills, engineering sense, and how familiar I was with dataset design. SQL and UML weren't strictly needed; I used JSON and that worked fine. Lastly, project experience, which differs for everyone. They wanted to see that I really understood my past work and could share some interesting thoughts about it.

Odoo Software Engineer Interview Questions
Quoted word for word from Odoo interview reports.
“Given an array of strings representing a graph, find the shortest path from the first node to the last node and return it as a string separated by dashes. If no path exists, return -1. The graph is non-looping and connections are bidirectional. The array format includes the number of nodes, the nodes themselves, and then the connections.”

Read reports →“Given an array of numbers, return "Arithmetic" if it follows an arithmetic pattern, "Geometric" if it follows a geometric pattern, or -1 if neither. An arithmetic sequence has a consistent difference between numbers, and a geometric sequence has a consistent ratio. Negative numbers are possible, but 0 and arrays with all same elements are not.”

Read report →“Can you solve the "Guess a number" game? Find a secret integer between 1 and 1000000 in under 50 guesses. Write a function that solves this game without user input and returns the solution using the verify() function, which is defined as follows: function verify(guess: integer) -> integer. Argument: guess (integer) is the number to verify. Returns: 0 if the guess is the solution, your program wins. -1 if the solution is smaller than the guess parameter. 1 if the solution is bigger than the guess parameter. Warning: You must not call verify() more than 50 times, or you will lose.”
