About the company : 

Sanmina Corporation, founded in 1980, is an American electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider headquartered in San Jose, California that serves original equipment manufacturers in the communications and computer hardware fields. This organization is one of the world’s largest independent manufacturers of printed circuit boards and backplanes. It is a fortune 500 listed company with a rank of 418 as of 2021.

Interview process:

This company came to our college, KIIT University, for recruitment in the second week of October 2021 for the role of Trainee Engineer (Software). So, our college floated out the forms to be filled up. Students of computer science and electronics got the chance to appear for the online test.

First-round – Online test:

The online test was pretty simple and straightforward. There were:

1 . Aptitude questions – which were mostly on simple arithmetic, ratio and proportion, puzzles,

2.  English grammar questions –  simple vocabulary, prepositions, and one comprehension 

3. Two coding questions – Pretty simple questions. I don’t remember the questions, but they are mostly focused on sorting techniques.

Out of 500 students, around 120 students were shortlisted for the next round

Second round – Group Discussion:

After the online test, I got a mail on 6th November regarding the Group discussion round. It started around 2 pm. A group of 12 students was there in that meeting. We were given two topics in this round, for which we need to have a group discussion among ourselves for about 10 minutes. This round lasted for about 25 to 30 minutes. 

Topics were:  

1) Is the work culture of the corporate world killing the creativity of young minds?

2) How has the online mode of work affected our lives?

Third round – Personal interview:

Just after the GD round, on 9th November, I got a mail regarding the Personal interview round. Around 20 students got the mail link for PI. It was at 2 pm and the interview lasted for around 40 minutes. The questions were as follows:

1. Introduce Yourself

2. Asked about my projects. My projects were mostly based on ML and computer vision things, which grabbed the attention of the interviewer.

3. He asked about my hackathon experiences (I participated in hackathons during my college years, so he asked about this).

4. Asked a lot of questions on topics of DBMS and Operating systems.

5. Gave a coding question and just asked me to write pseudocode based on that.

6. Why want to join Sanmina ?

7. Where do you see yourself 5 years down the line? ….and some basic HR questions that I can’t remember.

After a week’s interval. the results came. Out of 20 students, 6 students were finally selected, and I was fortunate enough to be among them, 😀

Overall Experience was Very Good and the Interviewers were very friendly.

I would like to thank www.geeksforgeeks.org which helped me throughout my preparation in such a short duration of time.

TIPS:

  • Be thorough with the important topics of your core engineering subjects
  • Be calm and try to answer confidently.
  • Be honest in your resume, A simple resume that would contain the topics which you are sure about will help you crack the interview.
