- Kpmg India Consultant interview: business scenarios and fitKpmg India · Consultant · HR Screen · Jul 2026
The recruiter scheduled the HR step through Zoom or email and kept the conversation relaxed, focusing on my background and fit. I then had behavioral and scenario conversations, including business situations around integration, separation, and M&A. Interviewers followed up on my answers and asked me to explain my reasoning rather than stay broad. The next phase was an assessment followed by an in…
- KPMG Philippines Consultant interview: structured business casesKPMG Philippines · Consultant · Other · Jul 2026
I started with back-to-back behavioral and scenario sessions. The scenario round was a business case about how I would approach an engagement, including integration, separation, and M&A considerations. It tested structure and reasoning more than memorized material. The next stage again paired behavioral work with technical-style thinking in a service-line setting. The technical piece was not codi…
- KPMG Philippines Solutions Consultant interview: recruiter screen and manager discussionsKPMG Philippines · Solutions Consultant · HR Screen · Jul 2026
I began with a friendly recruiter phone screen. We discussed my work experience and salary, and the recruiter said I should hear back within about two weeks. It felt straightforward and positive, like a check that I met the basics before moving on. Afterward, I had an HR screen and hiring-manager-style interviews. The interviewers were approachable, explained how the process would work, and took…
- Kpmg Us Consultant interview: consulting fit and casesKpmg Us · Consultant · HR Screen · Jul 2026
After I applied, the process moved from recruiter and HR conversations to manager-led interviews. It felt professional and structured: people introduced themselves, then probed after my answers. The rounds were about fit and communication rather than pure coding. I had back-to-back behavioral and scenario sessions. The case topics included integration, separation, and M&A, and I discussed my resp…
- Kyndryl Software Engineer interview: English assessment, group discussion and networkingKyndryl · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026Rejected
After an initial recruiter-style step, I took an online English assessment. It had a fluency check, then vocabulary and spelling questions, all under a time limit with many questions. It stressed speed and accuracy, and I had to be careful with unknown answers because wrong answers carried negative marking. Soon after, I joined a group discussion on a current technology topic. Everyone needed a c…
- Kyndryl Software Engineer interview: networking fundamentalsKyndryl · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jul 2026Offer
The opening screening was smooth and casual. They asked about my education and willingness to relocate, and the tone was comfortable rather than interrogative. The later interview was more direct, but the interviewer was polite and gave me space to answer without feeling rushed. Most questions covered computer-networking basics. It was not a heavy-coding exercise; they wanted to see whether I und…
- L'Oréal Marketing Analytics Specialist Interview Experience: Collaborative group caseL'Oréal · Marketing Analytics Specialist · HR Screen · Jul 2026
I enjoyed this process because it felt collaborative instead of purely transactional. After the recruiter stage, I did a group task where we worked through a case and presented what we came up with. The experience felt welcoming throughout and gave me a real view of how people might work together day to day. It was harder than a straightforward HR screen. The group format and presentation made me…
- L&T Technology Services Software Engineer interview: networking and core theoryL&T Technology Services · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026Offer
After the recruiter screen, I had two back-to-back technical interviews. They focused on my C, Linux, networking, and WiFi background, and I had to explain both concepts and the resume work behind them. One round also covered circuits, signals, communication, basic programming logic, and my projects. The manager round was more conversational. I discussed past work from my resume and answered scen…
- L3Harris Software Engineer Interview Experience: HR and manager conversationsL3Harris · Software Engineer · Jul 2026Offer
I started with an HR phone screen about my resume, past projects, and why I wanted the role. Next came a Zoom-style conversation with managers on the team. It was mostly behavioral, though a few lightly technical questions came up through how I described my experience and how I work. It was a typical multi-round process focused on my background and how I would operate in the role. Location: Camde…
- La Fosse Consultant interview: prolonged culture-fit processLa Fosse · Consultant · Other · Jul 2026
This was the opposite of the smooth, well-communicated process I expected. I went through what felt like too many culture-fit discussions, then received last-minute requests to scramble together business plans. The handling of references and the wider feeling that my time was not respected threw me off. At times, it felt as if information I had given was being used as intelligence rather than for…
- Lam Research Software Engineer interview: code analysis, project presentation and a director roundLam Research · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026Offer
After a recruiter screen, I had a technical discussion where I analyzed sample code. It felt like a direct way to assess how I read an implementation and reasoned about it. About a week into the process, I went through a structured three-round loop. The hiring-manager screen covered my technical background and some behavioral questions. The onsite technical stage included a presentation about my…
- Leadership Principle BQs and an Edit Distance Follow-upAmazon · Software Engineer · New Grad · Onsite · Jul 2026
Round 1 BQ1: Give an example of how you organized a product. BQ2: Give an example of a time you missed a deadline. BQ3: Talk about a time you thought something was wrong but stuck to your own view. Prepare your stories using the STAR method. Except for the first two — "the project you're most proud of" type stories — try to add lessons learned to the rest. Tell the story in a concise, easy-to-fol…
- Lennar Consultant interview: repeated delays and Caliper resultLennar · Consultant · Other · Jul 2026Rejected
The recruiter call felt cold and combative, and it was hard not to take that personally. A later interview with a sales manager felt rigid too. I was told an assistant would arrange another sales-manager meeting, but after my thank-you email and follow-up, I was told there was limited space in my region. When I reapplied in another city, the same recruiter scheduled me with the same interviewer.…
- LG Soft India Software Engineer interview: aptitude, C/C++, DSA, and OOPLG Soft India · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026
After a recruiter-style step, I went through a structured process that began with aptitude and then moved into coding that day or shortly after. The first stage was an easy MCQ aptitude round. The online assessment mixed MCQs and problem-solving, with a strong C/C++ focus. The questions were straightforward but not trivial, and the constrained format made language choice matter. I then had two in…
- LinkedIn Account Executive interview: fast recruiter-to-mock-call loopLinkedIn · Account Executive · HR Screen · Jul 2026Offer
The recruiter conversation was quick and friendly, and the process moved fast. Within minutes of applying, I received an email to schedule the first screening call. I spoke with three people in total: a recruiter, a hiring manager, and a panel-style mock call. The hiring team was great throughout. I answered their questions and felt they were listening. By the end of the last round, I had receive…
- LinkedIn Screen with a Twitter Feed Min-Heap QuestionTemu · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn, and that's how the interview got set up. Headquarters is in Boston, but all the hiring is remote. Every role interviewed under the title "software engineer," and the package gets negotiated after based on how you do in the interview. The first round was 60 minutes of coding, and here's how it went: Self-introduction, then they asked about my projects in…
- Live NumPy Coding on 3D Plane FittingTesla · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026
Second round for the sensing engineer position. The interviewer had me write everything in numpy the whole time. I hadn't prepared for that at all and couldn't really write it, and after 10 minutes I already didn't want to keep going with the interview, but the interviewer kept pulling me along and dragged it out for the full time anyway. First question: given a list of 3D points and a plane repr…
- Lockheed Martin Software Engineer interview experienceLockheed Martin · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
I expected my first interview to go into technical depth, but it was surprisingly light. It was short and straightforward, more like a quick check-in, with an easygoing tone and a strong emphasis on behavioral and fit questions. They asked basic questions rather than anything that felt like a difficult technical screen. I spent most of the time connecting my background to the role. One question w…
- Lockheed Martin Software Engineer interview: conversational STAR formatLockheed Martin · Software Engineer · Other · Jul 2026
The interview felt more like an extended conversation than a strict test. It was virtual and conversational throughout, with technical leaders asking about my experience and following with situational behavioral questions. They also asked object-oriented-programming questions, and I used STAR to organize my answers. It began with the usual "tell me about yourself," then they described the role to…
- Lockheed Martin Software Engineer interview: STAR and LQRLockheed Martin · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jul 2026Offer
After applying, I followed a familiar structured path: a recruiter-style step and then a standard virtual interview with several behavioral questions and one technical prompt. The process was tightly schedule-driven through email invitations, and the interview questions closely matched what had been described publicly. I answered a full set of STAR-based behavioral questions and one technical que…
- LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) Business Analyst interview with eight timed HireVue responsesLSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) · Business Analyst · Jul 2026
After a recruiter-style check-in, I went straight to an on-demand HireVue-style interview. The format was structured: eight questions, as much preparation time as I wanted, then about ninety seconds to answer once each prompt started. The questions were mainly behavioral, about workplace situations and how I approached day-to-day collaboration when things happened a certain way. It was not a deep…
- LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) Software Engineer interview: assessment centreLSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026
I began with timed assessment activity and then an online assessment centre running from late morning into the afternoon. It included a group round, a technical interview, and a motivation-focused interview. The questions were mostly standard, but it felt competitive because every part seemed tightly measured against other candidates. The process then had aptitude, coding, and group-discussion co…
- Ltimindtree Software Engineer Genesys Cloud technical interview and generic rejectionLtimindtree · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026Rejected
A recruiter call started the process, and my resume was shared with the hiring team. Once I was shortlisted, I had a technical interview focused heavily on my Genesys Cloud experience. I discussed architecture, contact center implementation, and my migration approach. The interviewer stayed professional throughout. I thought the technical discussion went well and that I had answered clearly. What…
- Ltimindtree Software Engineer interview: aptitude, chatbot and fundamentalsLtimindtree · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026
I started with an online aptitude-style round, then moved into an AI chatbot interaction and technical discussions. The technical interview ranged from SQL basics to DSA fundamentals such as strings, arrays, numbers, and pattern questions. Depending on how the conversation went, the interviewer also returned to projects on my résumé. Although the topics were broad, the difficulty felt manageable.…
- LTM Software Engineer interviewLTM · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026
After a recruiter call, I had a technical screen built around a coding and design prompt. I needed to create an API that returned a transaction identifier, then explain API versioning and exception handling. The follow-ups covered real microservice implementation and the tradeoffs among batch processing, messaging queues, and event-driven approaches. They also asked about Google Cloud Storage, Bi…
- LTM Software Engineer interview: cancelled offer after document checksLTM · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
I completed every technical face-to-face round and felt confident I had cleared the hardest part. The process then moved to employment documents. I was asked for material from my previous employers, but I could not provide a bank statement from my first employer because that job was from several years ago. I submitted everything else I could, including PF records and bank statements from later em…
- LTM Software Engineer interview: logistics overshadowed evaluationLTM · Software Engineer · Other · Jul 2026
The process began with group discussion and aptitude, then moved into technical and HR stages. The early portions were fine, but the technical and HR handling turned sour. One interviewer was especially rude, and the timing was badly managed. I waited in line for a long time without proper coordination for entry. By the time I tried to participate, I was frustrated and could not settle into a smo…
- Lucid Motors Software Engineer interview: three engineer technical roundsLucid Motors · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jul 2026Offer
I began with a recruiter phone screen about my background and what the role involved. Then I had three technical interviews with engineers back to back. The process was friendly and structured, with questions rooted in fundamentals. Most of the discussion was about mechanical engineering: problem solving, mechanical concepts, and my earlier projects. There was also a behavioral section about ordi…
- Lutron Software Engineer Interview Experience: Technical barrage and app designLutron · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
The first round was intense, more a barrage of technical questions than a calm conversation. I had to reason out loud as I went, which kept it stressful even when I felt confident. The next stage shifted to personality and professionalism, and that felt easier because it involved less technical problem solving. A later scheduling-app design session asked me to build the frontend and backend end t…
- Lutron Software Engineer interview: duplicate-removal problemLutron · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026Offer
After the recruiter step, I had a short two-part interview. The technical part lasted about an hour and asked me to remove duplicates from an array without using a HashSet. I could choose the language, which made it feel more like demonstrating my reasoning than being put under unnecessary pressure. The behavioral discussion took about half an hour. The interviewers were nice, and both sections l…
