Interviewee- Charvi Sethi
College- IGDTUW
CTC- 24 LPA
Online Assessment
The Online Assessment consisted of three sections: logical reasoning, English, and coding questions.
I began the assessment with the logical reasoning section, which consisted of 45 minutes of questions designed to test my problem-solving and analytical skills. I found the questions to be challenging but manageable, and I made sure to carefully read and consider each one before answering.
Next, I moved on to the English section, which was a 15-minute test of my grammar and vocabulary. This section was relatively straightforward, and I could complete it quickly.
Finally, I tackled the coding questions, which consisted of two 30-minute questions designed to test my coding skills and knowledge of algorithms and data structures. I spent some time thinking through the problems and then wrote and debugged my code.
Further, I got shortlisted.
First Round of Interviews
The interviewer began by asking me some theory-based questions about algorithms, which I could answer to his satisfaction. He then asked me about a crypto-based project that I had listed on my resume, which stood out to him. I could talk about the project in detail and explain the technologies I used and the challenges I faced.
The interviewer seemed impressed with my answers and asked me more technical questions. These questions were focused on different programming languages and frameworks that I had listed on my resume. I could answer most of these questions confidently, but for a couple of them, I admitted that I had limited experience and explained how I would learn more if I were to take on a role that required those skills.
Also, Naratting a friend’s experience. This time, the interviewer was different, and the interview began with more theory-based questions about algorithms.
After answering these questions, the interviewer asked about her experience with dynamic programming. She gave examples of problems she had solved using dynamic programming and explained her approach.
Toward the end of the interview, the interviewer asked her about their long-term career goals and how she saw herself fitting into the company. She told him that she was excited about the opportunity to work at Wells Fargo and contribute to developing innovative software solutions.
Second Round of Interviews
After the technical round, I received another email notification that I had been shortlisted for the final round, which was a technical + HR round. In this round, I had the opportunity to choose between two positions: summer analyst and software development engineer (SDE). I decided on the SDE position and was offered the job shortly after.
My friend, who was also interviewing for a software engineer position at Wells Fargo, had a different experience. She also had a technical round, followed by a technical + HR round as the final round. In her final round, she was asked some dynamic programming questions. She was also offered the SDE position and accepted it.
Here are some tips for you folks:
- Practice solving coding challenges on websites like Leetcode or HackerRank
- Review the basics of tree algorithms, as these are common topics in coding interviews
- Brush up on your knowledge of Object Oriented Programming, as these topics may be covered in theory questions
- Be prepared to write code on a whiteboard or online coding platform
- Take your time and think through your solutions carefully
- Be able to explain and defend your problem and be open to feedback and suggestions from the interviewer
- Take your time and think through your answers carefully. Good luck with your interview preparations, and I hope these tips help you succeed!
