Coding Technical Case Behavioral
So, first thing we had was this online assessment, it had like two coding questions and then some multiple choice stuff. Then, a few days later, they had this PPT thing where they told us who passed the online assessment, and after that, we went straight into the technical round. The tech round was mostly about SQL queries, like joins and subqueries. The guy also hit me with some basic DSA questions, like what's the deal between an array and an ArrayList? Oh, and he threw in a puzzle to see if I could think logically. He also asked me about the projects I've worked on. That whole technical interview was about 30 minutes. After that, I got through to the HR interview, and she just asked the usual HR questions.

It was an oncampus opportunity. I had an OA which included MCQs and one DSA problem. Then, shortlisted candidates were invited for a Technical Round. This round involved a deep dive into my resume projects, and I was asked one DSA (Easy) and one SQL question. The SQL question involved creating a database with a few tables and writing queries to retrieve data. After that, the final round was an HR round with typical HR questions.

HR reached out to me through a phone call and asked some basic screening questions like my interest in the role and availability. After about a week, I was invited for an interview. It was a relaxed, conversational interview with no technical questions. They were more interested in getting to know me, my schoolwork, and my hobbies. I had two back-to-back interviews with senior managers. Make sure to prepare many questions about State Street and the field/position.
