Deutsche Bank Interview Experience(On-Campus) 2023

Deutsche Bank visited our college by the end of month July for Graduate Analyst Role. The Hiring Procedure was quite straight forward consisting of:

1. Online Coding Round
2. Technical Interview-1
3. Technical Interview-2
4. Pro-fit/Manegerial Round
5. HR Round

Online Coding Round(27 July’23) :

It consists of 3 Qs, each 1 of Easy, Medium & Hard Category to be solved in 90 minutes. Easy Level Question was simply some manipulation of Array. Medium Level Question was completely based on Maths & took me around 10-15 min. to submit it in a single go & then the Hard Category Question was related to strings which was hardest Question so far & couldn’t be completely solved by even a single person in our college. I did passed 5/12 sample Test Cases in it.

Platform : HackerEarth

For this Part only mine experience was not good as the Test Cases were so poor that the Brute Force Solutions were also getting accepted for the Medium Level Question. Due to being solving all of those Questions after somedays I do had a Interview call on 3 Aug’22.
