MIQ Digital Interview Experience For Software Engineer 2

I went through the interview for the role of Software Engineer 2 with MIQ Digital. The job was for a candidate with 2 years of experience and with Java-based skillset.

The interview process consisted of multiple rounds and it was both rewarding and challenging.

Round 1: Java Round with a third-party recruiter.

The first round was with a third-party recruiter hired by MIQ for the screening of candidates. It consisted of multiple questions ranging from Core Java, Spring Framework and Low-Level Design.

Some of the questions that were asked were:

• Questions related to Java Date-Time Library. This article can help with this question.
• What are Functional Interfaces?
• Advantages and Disadvantages of Microservices.
• REST vs SOAP for API Design.
• Permgen and Metaspace in Java 8. Please refer to this article.

Round 2: Managerial Round

The second round was an online face-to-face interview with the Engineering Manager of the team that was hiring for the position. After introducing himself and going through my resume the interviewer started asking questions based on the resume.

Some of the questions that were asked were:

• Details about the projects I was working on, in my current company.
• Questions on Agile Methodology and Software Engineering.
• Team structure where I was currently working and my role in the team.
• Technical questions on Springboot project structure and switching between different profiles in Spring.
• Tools that were currently being used in my current organization for code deployment, and team collaboration.
• One major problem that I have encountered and how did I solve it. I explained about a CORS issue that I had faced recently.

Round 3: Hiring Manager

The final round was with the Hiring Manager where he explained the benefits being offered by MIQ, the work culture and values that MIQ works with. We also discussed the business domain of MIQ which is AdTech, which is very new for me and sounded exciting.

All three rounds went well and the interviewers were very helpful throughout the process.

I was finally offered the position and I gladly accepted it. Working with MIQ for the past 2 years has been incredibly enriching and rewarding for me. Hope this article helps give a glance into the hiring process and work culture at MIQ.
