Whatfix Interview Experience for Solution Engineer (On-Campus)

Recently Whatfix visited my university campus to offer a 1-year internship with a pre-placement offer for the role of solution engineer.

and this article is all about the route that I cover from 1st round till get hired by the company.

Round-1 (CV Shortlisting)

• The first round is basically a CV shortlisting round which they do by default and if your CV got shortlisted then you will get a chance to sit for the online test.
• Tips: Mention all skillsets required by the company as well as some good projects to increase your chances.

Round-2 (Online Test)

• All those students who got shortlisted appear in the online test whose duration is around 1 hour. It was organized on HackerEarth Platform.
• The online test contains 30 questions, which are divided into 2 sections i.e; Coding question and MCQ
• It contains 2 coding questions and 28 Multiple choice questions, both coding questions are based on dynamic programming ( we can solve it using a brute force approach also but to have an efficient solution and to pass all test cases we use DP ).

Note: According to me coding questions were not too tough as I have a good knowledge of DSA and had been practicing it for 3 semesters of my B-Tech.

Tips: To solve all the questions or to clear any online test of any company you should have done regular practice on any platform, I use Geek for Geeks to solve problems and also took part in weekly contests that enhance my confidence.

• 28 MCQs were based on the basic to advance topics of HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
• I was able to complete the test in 30 minutes.
•  Have your basic cleared by taking the mock test on a gfg or any other platform

Round-3 (Technical Interview Round-1)

• After 3-4 days I got the notification that I have cleared the test and scheduled for Technical Interview (Round 1)
• The interviewer was a very nice guy and it all started with his and my introduction.
• Then after some casual questions about my place and all the actual technical interview got started, He asked me about the projects that I have mentioned on my CV and ask around 5-6 questions from them in detail in order to know that in actual I have created them and have a better understanding.
• Then he ask me some theoretical questions about the DSA and then started with the Front-end technologies
• He asks me around 9-10 questions on Javascript and HTML as well as CSS and gives me a task to perform.
• After all, I notice that he is taking an interest in me and my interview ended with some behavioral questions.
