- Snowflake Account Executive Interview Experience: fourth of five stagesSnowflake · Account Executive · Other · Jul 2026
I reached the fourth stage of a five-stage process. The interviews felt normal and focused mainly on my SDR background, target performance, and day-to-day work. Nothing about the questions felt overly complicated or mysterious. I did not get an offer, but the salary made the opportunity hard to walk away from. I still felt it was worth pursuing because the potential upside looked much larger than…
- Snowflake Account Executive interview: direct outreach without a clear application pathSnowflake · Account Executive · Jul 2026No response
I contacted a sales leader directly on LinkedIn after seeing her post. There was no job description or application link, so I didn't have a clear formal process to follow. She asked for my CV in English, a reference contact and an English cover letter. She said English would be needed because global leadership would take part in hiring. I resent my CV with the cover letter and references, then he…
- Snowflake Computing Account Executive Interview Experience: SDR targets at stage fourSnowflake Computing · Account Executive · Other · Jul 2026
I made it to the fourth stage, so the early steps had gone well enough to continue. The interview felt normal and centered on my SDR experience, whether I could explain my performance, my targets, and how I handled daily work. It did not feel as though the interviewer was trying to catch me out. They seemed to be checking consistency and clarity. I did not receive an offer. Still, the salary was…
- Snowflake Computing Account Executive interview: requested references and no follow-upSnowflake Computing · Account Executive · Jul 2026No response
A sales director in Brazil posted on LinkedIn looking for Account Executives. I messaged her with my CV and pointed out that there wasn't a job link or formal posting to apply through. She asked for an English CV, an English cover letter and references from a previous line manager, mentioning WhatsApp as well. She explained that the global hiring leaders were overseas, so English mattered. She ha…
- SoFi Full Stack Engineer panel interview experienceSoFi · Full Stack Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026
I started with a standard recruiter phone screen that moved quickly. A third-party technical screen focused on JavaScript, and I entered the main interviews expecting coding and role-relevant evaluation. The next step was a packed panel. It included Algorithms and Data Structures, a React frontend discussion, and system design. I also met with a hiring manager to discuss how I worked and approach…
- SoFi Software Engineer interview experience: graph traversal and backtrackingSoFi · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026Offer
The process felt smooth from the start. The coding screen included a graph-traversal-style question, followed by technical rounds built around familiar problem-solving patterns. One involved generating permutations with backtracking; another asked me to rearrange an array for a prefix-sum-style objective. The rounds were practical and direct. I had room to explain my thinking instead of dealing w…
- Softtek Software Engineer interview: explaining a program and its requirementsSofttek · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026
The interview felt focused and demanding. The interviewer had a long professional background and seemed interested in how I reasoned through the problem. I was asked to explain a written program in detail and show how I'd understood the prompt. I needed to break down what was happening, why the approach made sense and how I interpreted the requirements. The level of detail made the conversation d…
- Software Engineer at AMD: computer architecture and UVM questionsAMD · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
I went through a technical-focused interview that leaned heavily into computer architecture and verification. I was asked about UART, SPI, and I2C, including how those topics connect to the bigger picture. We also covered object-oriented programming and verification languages and concepts such as UVM. The discussion then moved to bus protocols including APB, AHB, and AXI, followed by coverage, as…
- Software Engineer interview at & General Intuition& General Intuition · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
I went from an HR conversation into a LeetCode-style debugging exercise through an external recruiter. After I passed it, I spoke with HR again before a problem-solving-heavy onsite. The onsite included a customer-facing problem, two coding challenges, and a final leads chat about culture, motivation, how I think, and the role I wanted to grow into. I was constantly on, and the customer discussio…
- Software Engineer interview at Accenture España: smooth early roundsAccenture España · Software Engineer · Jul 2026Rejected
I had an HR round and a business round, and the process wrapped up in about two weeks. It was straightforward, and I left feeling I had performed well. I was not selected, though the rejection communication was professional. Elsewhere in the process, delays and logistics problems showed how inconsistent the candidate experience could be. I came away feeling that confidence in the interviews did n…
- Software Engineer interview at Accenture Technology: early rejection and rapid manager callAccenture Technology · Software Engineer · Jul 2026Rejected
I reached the online-assessment stage but did not advance. The rejection email was polite, so the stop felt more respectful than silent. In another hiring-manager conversation, I was asked only a few questions about my projects and was asked to explain them. It ended in under five minutes, without a deep technical discussion. These early experiences felt lightweight and did not always let me demo…
- Software Engineer interview at Accenture Technology: virtual and office roundsAccenture Technology · Software Engineer · Jul 2026Offer
The process moved quickly through several rounds. The early conversations were virtual, while a later round took place at an Accenture office, which made the interaction feel more direct. Recruiter and later rounds kept returning to my background, work history, and fit for the role. The difficulty was average and the interviews seemed intended to confirm consistency rather than introduce unrelate…
- Software Engineer interview at ADCI - Karnataka: difficult DSA and GenAIADCI - Karnataka · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
The process moved from an OA-style round to DSA and then a GenAI-focused round, but late stages still included LeetCode-style DSA work. One problem used graph algorithms and another required more ad-hoc reasoning; both felt genuinely hard. Amazon Leadership Principles shaped the behavioral framing throughout, linking impact and ownership to problem solving. The difficulty kept rising, especially…
- Software Engineer interview at ADCI - Karnataka: DSA and AI-assisted codingADCI - Karnataka · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
There were four stages in total, but I did not clear the first. It contained two questions: a DSA problem and an AI-assisted, repository-based coding task. I produced a solution for the DSA question but struggled with edge cases, then ran out of time before I could debug and iterate properly. The second task differed from a standalone LeetCode question because it used a codebase and a limited ass…
- Software Engineer interview at ADCI - Karnataka: DSA and GenAIADCI - Karnataka · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
The process had two compact rounds. In the first, I solved two medium LeetCode-style DSA problems and discussed a project. The second combined one DSA question with basic GenAI questions and more project discussion about both individual and team work. The difficulty felt reasonable, but I had to explain my answers clearly and connect technical decisions to leadership-principle ideas such as trade…
- Software Engineer interview at ADCI - Karnataka: DSA and Leadership PrinciplesADCI - Karnataka · Software Engineer · Jul 2026Offer
I had one direct interview round with two LeetCode-based DSA questions. One was an array problem in the style of classic book allocation; the other combined math and arrays. I needed to show sound fundamentals and a clear implementation. Amazon Leadership Principles were not an afterthought. They were woven into how I explained decisions, tradeoffs, and reasoning. The conversation was technical,…
- Software Engineer interview at ADCI - Karnataka: networking depthADCI - Karnataka · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
A phone screen began with my ongoing work and projects, but every answer led to deeper follow-up. I used STAR-style stories to keep the conversation structured as the interviewer drilled into my experience. The technical part covered TCP/IP and routing topics including OSPF and BGP. The interview assessed both how I described impact and ownership and whether I could reason through practical netwo…
- Software Engineer interview at ALTEN BelgiumALTEN Belgium · Software Engineer · Jul 2026Offer
There were three straightforward rounds: HR first, then the client account manager on the Alten side, followed by a client panel. HR was about general fit. The account-manager conversation covered the projects and what the role would look like day to day. The client panel felt like a final check that I understood the mission and could discuss relevant experience honestly. Nothing in the process s…
- Software Engineer interview at Alten Spain: interview experienceAlten Spain · Software Engineer · Jul 2026Offer
The process was direct and pleasant in its interactions. I was mainly asked to discuss my skills, with a clear aim of understanding what I could do and matching my experience to a possible role. I had one introductory interview where they listened carefully without making the process complicated. It did not turn into a long chain of stages. The focus seemed to be on the initial assessment and the…
- Software Engineer interview at Altimetrik: relevant frontend discussionAltimetrik · Software Engineer · Jul 2026Offer
After recruiter conversations, I had a practical technical discussion on JavaScript, React, TypeScript, system design, performance optimization, and general problem solving. It felt connected to actual frontend work rather than random trivia. The HR round was transparent about role expectations and the hiring process, and the interviewer was approachable. Background verification and later communi…
- Software Engineer interview at Amazon AdvertisingAmazon Advertising · Software Engineer · Jul 2026Rejected
This four-round loop was about DSA execution and being thorough with edge cases. Early on, I saw ordinary algorithm questions alongside an AI-assisted, repo-based coding task. I could usually find the central DSA idea, but I did not get all the edge cases right or leave enough time to debug. The later rounds kept the same theme, with coding problems at different levels and behavioral moments mixe…
- Software Engineer interview at Amazon Advertising: interview experienceAmazon Advertising · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
The process had three stages and placed Amazon leadership principles alongside coding. I did not complete the first stage. It began with two coding questions under set time limits and then moved to a workstyle assessment. The later format, as I understood it from the process, involved one or two technical rounds with DSA-heavy problems and leadership-principle prompts throughout. In my own DSA-fo…
- Software Engineer interview at Amazon Advertising: Leadership PrinciplesAmazon Advertising · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
The process covered several technical levels, bar-raiser-style evaluation, and a program-manager round. Expectations were communicated clearly, and Amazon Leadership Principles were central even during technical discussions, where impact and ownership still mattered. The full process took nearly a week in business-day terms. I did not receive an offer, but the structure stayed consistent enough t…
- Software Engineer interview at Amazon Development Center U.S.: interview experienceAmazon Development Center U.S. · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
The loop had several distinct themes, and it was clear what each interviewer was assessing. Multiple technical rounds began with troubleshooting and GenAI fluency, then moved into coding problem-solving and the DSA-style reasoning Amazon looks for. Later rounds became more behavioral and principle-based. A hiring-manager-style discussion covered earning trust, learning curiosity, and operational…
- Software Engineer interview at Amazon DSP: four DSA roundsAmazon DSP · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
I went through four rounds that mixed DSA and behavioral evaluation. The first included two medium-hard questions with DP and graph themes, plus project discussion. The second had two easier-medium DP and string questions with more behavioral material. The third included one easy sliding-window-style problem. Although I felt some answers were reasonable, I did not make it past the earlier cutoff.…
- Software Engineer interview at Amazon DSP: interview experienceAmazon DSP · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
I had four interview rounds, each about an hour long, with people from different countries. The sessions were respectful and organized, mixing technical material with behavioral evaluation. Amazon Leadership Principles were central, and I needed concrete examples rather than general statements. The loop included several DSA-focused rounds with leadership-principle questions throughout. There was…
- Software Engineer interview at Amazon DSP: principle-driven loopAmazon DSP · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
My interview flow started with a recruiter screen, then an online assessment and technical interviews. Coding and behavioral evaluation were tied closely to Amazon Leadership Principles, particularly how I described ownership, impact, and decisions. GenAI concepts also appeared. The process was organized and serious, but I did not receive an offer. I understood the material, yet I could not turn…
- Software Engineer interview at Amazon: leadership narrative challengeAmazon · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
My three-round loop had two DSA rounds and a Leadership Principles round. The first DSA round included two medium LeetCode questions. The second had one medium and one hard question involving DP and graphs. The Leadership Principles interview was harder for me than DSA because it required a convincing narrative about how I would operate under Amazon's values. I did not receive an offer. The proce…
- Software Engineer interview at Amazon: networking follow-upsAmazon · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
A phone screen began with my current experience and projects, then each response drew deeper questions. I used STAR structure for behavioral answers as the interviewer pressed past surface-level descriptions. Technical discussion covered TCP/IP and routing topics, including OSPF and BGP. It was an engaging but difficult conversation because of the depth expected in both storytelling and networkin…
- Software Engineer interview at Anaplan: collaborative pair programmingAnaplan · Software Engineer · Jul 2026Offer
I began with a recruiter introduction to align on expectations and discuss my background. Technical conversations then went deeply into projects I had actually worked on rather than trying to catch me with gotcha questions. In pair programming, I debugged and coded collaboratively, with attention to how I approached problems. I later presented a system to the hiring manager and discussed tradeoff…
