Kongsberg Interview Experience for SDE | On-Campus 2021

Kongsberg came to our campus in mid-October (2021) virtually. There was a total of 3 Rounds: Coding round, technical and HR interviews.

ROUND 1: Coding Round – HackerEarth (2 hrs)

• 25 MCQ – aptitude, maths, logical, CS concepts
• 3 questions coding questions- array queries based, implementation
• Around 10 students were shortlisted for the later rounds. The interviews were to be held on the team’s platform.

ROUND 2: Technical Interview (1 hr 15min)

• intro, detailed project discussion with cross-questions
• fav. subjects? I said DBMS, OOPs
• explain OOPs with example (write on notepad) again follow up question in run time and compile-time polymorphism, access specifier
• do you know about data structures? explain which data structure you will use give example. working of hash function?
• Write code: to print 1 to 100 without using a loop (Hint: recursion)
• Write code: print some (image was shared) pyramid pattern
• DBMS – with example explain types of relationship (1-1, 1-M, M-N), SQL join query
• how can you design database so that only 1-1 relationship is maintained? (Hint: use unique key), Normalization-based implementation question
• char and varchar difference? stored procedure? views?

I was not selected for a later process. There was an HR Interview as well. In the end, only 1 student was selected from CSE.

Tip:

Always give concise answers and clear your basics by practicing implementation.
