Application Process: Soon after applying for the Software Design Engineer Intern position, I got a call where I was asked to introduce myself and schedule a phone interview. Each further round was an elimination round.
Round 1(Phone Interview): I got a phone call on the scheduled date.
- At first, I was asked to introduce myself and tell about my experiences. Then the interviewer began asking questions on Object-Oriented Programming(OOP).
- The questions covered almost all Object-Oriented Programming concepts. I was also asked to explain JDK, JVM, and JRE. Finally, I had to tell SQL query about finding the second maximum entry.
- It was a 45 minutes interview and a week later I got an invitation to the Technical Interview.
Round 2(Technical Interview): This interview was face-to-face on Microsoft Teams.
- It began with my introduction. I was asked to explain one of the projects mentioned in my resume and few other questions on the project and the tech stack used.
- Then began the coding interview. It was on a live code pairing site.
- It was a 30 minutes interview and I was asked the below problem. Problem: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/merging-elements-two-different-arrays-alternatively-third-array/amp/
- I had to write the entire code for the problem and run few test cases.
- I was able to solve the problem and a week later I came to know that I had cleared both rounds and had to take a psychometric test.
Round 3(Psychometric Test): The test consisted of 100 questions without a time limit. They were based on the company’s values and general ethics.
Two days later I got my offer for Software Design Engineer Intern Position at Merkle Sokrati.
Only a few applicants finally got the offer and I was one of them.
