Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at SRF.
Senior Executive
First, there was a general aptitude and core technical subject test. This was followed by a technical interview (round 1), and then an HR interview (round 2). The technical interview questions were entirely based on the content in my resume/CV.
- Can you describe the fundamental approach of your research works and the outputs you have published?
Senior Executive
So, SRF, a big name in its operations field, really puts entry-level engineers through the wringer! Expect about 4-5 rounds before they even think about offering you a job. It kicks off with a 60-minute technical online test and a 30-minute aptitude round for screening. After that, there are several other interview rounds. All in all, the selection process is pretty tough but they run it smoothly and efficiently.
- The questions here are subjective and depend entirely on your ability to handle different situations.
- You'll be presented with many tough questions, all framed in a very specific way.
- Ultimately, it all comes down to how effectively you manage and respond to these challenges.
Senior Executive
So the interview process was 4 rounds, first there was a written test which included aptitude and technical questions. Then there was an HR and technical interview, followed by a critical reasoning test. The aptitude questions were easy, 35 questions in 30 minutes. The technical questions were also easy, 35 questions in 30 minutes, but they had negative marking.
- Could you tell me about the basics of chemical engineering?
- What do you know about pumps?
- Can you explain mass transfer?
