Had a 3-hour coding test that involved a moderately hard graph problem, kinda like topological sort. Then there was an HR chat where they asked about Korean culture and my fit, and finally a technical interview that covered a scenario and my resume.

Coding Technical System Design Behavioral

The Samsung interview was pretty organized. First, there was an online test covering coding, logic, and general aptitude. Then, if you passed, you had several technical interviews focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving, plus a system design chat. Lastly, an HR interview checked for communication, teamwork, and if you'd fit in. It felt fair and gave you a good shot to show what you know technically and with your soft skills.

Behavioral

I had a video chat with a director on Linkedin after they reached out. I sent my resume but then was left waiting for a long time for any follow-up. Even after messaging the director multiple times, they just told me not to contact other recruiters. Ultimately, I accepted another offer. It was a really bad experience, and it felt like they had to get approval from KR HQ for every hire or interview schedule, which made me feel negative about working there.
