Infineon Technologies Interview Experience for Software (On-Campus) 2024

Recently, Infineon Technologies visited Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune, in January 2024 for an 11-month internship. The company came for two different roles: Software and Hardware. I applied for the software role. The selection process spanned 2 days and included 1 online assessment, 3 or 4 rounds of technical interviews, and 1 HR round.

There was an initial round of CGPA shortlisting before the comprehensive evaluation, and approximately 300 individuals were selected to proceed to the subsequent rounds.

Round 1 (Online Assessment) – Day 1:

The online test took place on the GeeekAssess Platform with a time period of 90 minutes. There were 6 different sections in the test covering embedded C, Python, C++, and machine learning. Each section had a time limit of 15 minutes, and the questions were of medium to hard difficulty. Notably, this assessment had no negative marking, so it was advisable to attempt every question.

Out of the 300 students shortlisted for the test, only 24 students received a call for the interview process. All subsequent interviews were conducted using the Webex platform.

Round 2 (Technical Interview 1) – Day 2:

After a quick introduction, the interviewer asked a few technical queries. The questions revolved around the internships mentioned in the introduction:

• What was your role?
• Which technology stack did you use, and which frameworks were you familiar with?
• Explain your project and your role in it.

Since my role was a frontend developer, the interviewer asked JavaScript-related questions like promises, arrays, etc.

Regarding APIs mentioned in my resume, he delved into details, asking about the tools I used for API management, such as Postman.

There were also questions about CSS, such as centering a div and using flexbox.

After this discussion, he presented a coding question: Find unique elements in an array. I was asked to open a notepad and write the code in any language of my choice. I explained two approaches – a brute force method using count and a second one using hashing. The interviewer was satisfied with my approaches and asked me to write any solution. Although I chose the hashing solution, I encountered some syntax errors. The interviewer assisted in identifying the errors and had me perform a dry run of the code.

Following this round, I received a call for the next round.

Round 3 (Technical Interview 2):

This round started directly with questions:

He inquired about the computer science subjects I was familiar with.

Next, he asked about various sorting algorithms and requested me to write the code for any sorting algorithm. I chose QuickSort.

However, during this round, I wrote a complete logic for QuickSort, but my code ended up in an infinite loop. Despite efforts from both the interviewer and me, we couldn’t resolve the issue. After a few minutes, he asked me to join another panel for further processing and told me to leave the meeting.

I informed the main meeting admin about the situation, and he asked me to wait for some time. However, after 2 hours, they informed me that they were not moving forward with my application.

Verdict: Not selected.
