Pelican (United Kingdom) Interview Questions
& Process

I met with various people. The office was small and not very nice, but the coffee was good. The team had deep domain knowledge and were friendly. They have a hybrid work model with the development team located in India. It’s not a modern company or workplace, but they have a big customer in the banking space.

So first there's this aptitude test, if you pass that, you go into one HR round and then 2 technical rounds. The HR round is pretty chill, they just ask if you're okay with working late and some general stuff. The tech rounds are more hands-on, they'll hit you with basic SQL questions and then give you a scenario to create a basic data model, like tell you what tables and attributes you'd need for a library system.

I applied through other source and the whole process took 5 days. I interviewed at ACE Software Solutions (Andheri) in August 2015. It was a walk in interview where around 70-80 people appeared. The first round was an aptitude test with 6 sections: quant, logical, verbal, IQ (each with 5 questions), Java (30 questions), and SQL (20 questions), each worth one mark. After that, there was an HR round followed by a technical round with 2 seniors who asked about OOPS, Core Java, and my Final Year Project, and also asked me to write a Java program. After passing the first round, I was invited for a second technical round the following week, which was technical cum HR. Two days later, I was called for the final technical round with the Team Lead. After that, they said my resume was on hold and they would get back to me, but I haven't heard from them since.

First was a tough phone call asking scenario based questions about Project Management, with a focus on risk mitigation. The second round was in-person with the Delivery Head, again asking scenario-based questions, this time concentrating on risk mitigation, handling multiple clients, and managing stress while staying productive.
