    Susquehanna International Group Quantitative Analyst interview: timed probability and logic

    I applied for a quant internship and received the online assessment almost immediately. I had about an hour for probability and logic questions. They weren't brutally difficult, but preparation mattered if I wanted to work quickly and keep the reasoning straight. It felt like a check of fundamentals and composure. I don't have a long sequence of later rounds to describe. Probability and logic wer…

    Susquehanna International Group Software Engineer interview: CodeSignal DSA

    The process was compact: a CodeSignal coding assessment, then recruiter and technical interviews. The main technical checkpoint was a DSA-focused CodeSignal set with multiple questions. It felt designed to see how I handled structured algorithm problems within the platform's constraints. After the assessment, I had an HR interview and a technical interview with deeper discussion and coding-style…

    Susquehanna International Group Software Engineer month-long process

    Scheduling was deliberate from the beginning. After recruiter contact, I had a technical screen and then a technical-plus-design round, with recruiter preparation and follow-up calls around the interviews. The in-person stage also included fit and experience conversations, and I appreciated the communication and feedback throughout. The process lasted more than a month, with rounds about one to t…

    Swiggy Software Engineer interview: DSA, LLD, and system design

    I went through a straightforward Swiggy loop that flowed smoothly. After the recruiter touchpoint, I had two rounds: a coding interview on DSA and LLD-style patterns, then a system design round with an engineering manager. The difficulty felt average. The DSA and LLD portion was standard enough that I was not completely thrown off, and the system design discussion felt manageable but thoughtful r…

  5. Interview experiences · Symbotic

    Symbotic Robotics Engineer interview: positive signals and vague closure

    My process started normally with an HR phone screen that went well, followed by a video call with the hiring manager. That conversation felt dry rather than warm, and it did not seem to build toward a decision. I asked for an update soon after but heard nothing, then eventually received a Workday-style email saying they were moving forward with other candidates. On another attempt, the sequence w…

    Symbotic Software Engineer interview: long wait after final rounds

    I began with a Microsoft Teams recruiter screen. The recruiter explained the role and reviewed my resume, and the follow-up interviews stayed close to my background: basic behavioral questions, what I had done before, and what I could bring to the team. There were several conversations, including an on-site element and a final director discussion that was presented as time for my questions. The p…

    Synechron Software Engineer interview: interruptions and rushed technical screening

    My first interview left me rattled. The interviewer repeatedly cut me off and moved to the next question before I'd finished. I felt interrupted more than assessed. A later screening was even more rushed. A short phone call led to a technical screen where the questions came too quickly for me to think them through. When I asked for clarification, I didn't feel the interviewer slowed down or helpe…

    Syneos Health/ Inventiv Health Commercial Account Executive interview: quick manager and HR decision

    After a quick recruiter outreach, I moved straight to a discussion with the hiring manager and HR. The process was fast and light on formal structure. The interviewers spent a lot of time explaining the company and role, and there were not many deep prompts. I still got the usual "tell me about yourself" focus and questions about my recent work. STAR-style prompts came up, but the tone was not es…

  9. Interview experiences · Synopsys

    Synopsys Software Engineer interview experience: technical expectations changed abruptly

    I began with an HR and manager conversation that made me think technical questions might not be part of the process. I went into it more relaxed than I should have. The second round changed tone quickly. They started asking many technical questions, and the depth rose almost immediately. I had not prepared for the particular technical work they expected, and I could not recover as well as I wante…

  10. Interview experiences · Syntes

    Syntes Software Engineer interview: friendly start, no follow-through

    The first thing that stood out was the lack of clarity once I finally had a chance to interview. Recruiters were direct when they reached out, but they gave little information about the process length and I received no updates afterward. In a separate attempt, I was contacted after applying for an assessment path. There was a quick phone call about my background and fit, with the hiring manager c…

  11. Interview experiences · Syntes

    Syntes Software Engineer interview: relaxed half-day panel session

    Recruiter outreach came first, and they connected me with the team. The atmosphere was easygoing, and everyone felt friendlier than the people I had met at other European pharma companies. The process moved quickly into two rounds: a short call with the hiring manager, then, about a week later, a half-day in-person session. That session consisted of several panel-style conversations. Most intervi…

    Syntes Software Engineer interview: two virtual discussions with hiring decision-makers

    Both interviews were virtual and felt closely connected to the hiring decision. In the first video call, I spoke with the person directly involved in deciding who to hire. The second brought in additional team members for more of a panel discussion. We mainly talked about my background. In the second round, it felt like several people were considering my answers from different perspectives at onc…

  13. Interview experiences · Sysco

    Sysco Account Executive interview experience: recorded screen and no follow-up

    I started with a short recorded phone interview. About a day later, I moved into the longer main interview. The first call was quick, around fifteen minutes, while the next stage was more involved. The virtual round had two interviewers speaking with me at the same time. Their questions were solid and required real thought, but the conversation flowed well enough that I left feeling I had done a…

    Sysco Account Executive interview with no follow-up

    After completing interview steps, I never got real closure. Things initially seemed promising, but the follow-up did not come. I kept reaching out and was left wondering whether I had been passed over or simply forgotten. In one case, I was told I had made it through, then there was no second round and no explanation. In another, the process ended after an online assessment and a video interview…

    T-Mobile Account Executive interview: behavioral sales conversations and inconsistent follow-up

    After I applied, the process moved smoothly and did not feel drawn out. I started with a phone check-in to confirm my background, availability, and interest. I discussed examples from my sales experience, then had live conversations with managers, typically face to face or as a virtual onsite. The conversations were more relaxed than intimidating and leaned on behavioral examples: customers, cowo…

    T Mobile Us Account Executive interview: sales scenarios and mixed outcomes

    After a recruiter contacted me, I had an early screen to confirm my background, availability, and interest in the role. The discussion was practical: why I wanted the role, my sales experience, and how my goals matched the business. I kept it conversational and used real examples rather than trying to sound overly polished. A little later, I met with managers, usually in one main in-person conver…

  17. Interview experiences · Tanium

    Tanium Software Engineer interview: recruiter silence and canceled technical interviews

    The start was discouraging. Two recruiters contacted me on LinkedIn and asked for my resume and contact details. One disappeared entirely. The other said the role was not live yet and should open the following week. That week passed without a response or a job posting. I followed up anyway and got nothing back. After they had confirmed the outreach was real, the lack of basic professional courtes…

  18. Interview experiences · Target

    Target Account Executive interview: communication and difficult stakeholders

    The interview used structured questions about how I work. I described cross-functional work, communication challenges, difficult stakeholders, problem solving and managing expectations. The prompts were straightforward and related to situations I'd discussed in previous roles. They were specific enough that I could see the focus was on my thinking and how I explained decisions. I didn't end up ta…

    Target Account Executive interview experience

    I had a short in-person interview about customers and availability. The questions focused on how I would handle common shopping situations and help customers, not technical material. I also received a quick explanation of the position. I later had a manager-led in-person interview with a manager and assistant manager. They asked about my availability and customer interactions. The follow-up was t…

    Target Account Executive interview: recruiter and manager panel

    I had two rounds for a Target Roundel Account Manager role. The first was a recruiter conversation. The second lasted about an hour with several managers and leaned heavily on situational and behavioral prompts, including follow-ups that felt tightly structured. Everyone was professional and polite, but the process felt more formal than I would have preferred. I did not receive an offer, which di…

    Target Account Executive interview: virtual team conversations ended by scheduling

    My process began with an HR call about my experience and what I was looking for. Then I had a virtual round and a few more Zoom meet-and-greet conversations with team leads and store managers. It felt organized and friendly, and people seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me. The process stopped because of scheduling conflicts on my side, not because of anything in the interviews. I lef…

  22. Interview experiences · Tata Communications

    Tata Communications Software Engineer interview: networking fundamentals and project discussion

    After speaking with a recruiter, I had a fairly relaxed technical conversation about core electronics and networking fundamentals. We covered basic electronic concepts, then the OSI and TCP/IP models, common networking protocols, and usual networking tools. A substantial part of the discussion was my project: how I implemented it, what problems came up, and what I personally contributed. They wan…

  23. Interview experiences · TCS

    Tata Consultancy Services (North America) Business Analyst capital-markets interview

    The interview felt moderate overall. Most questions concerned SQL and the domain side of my background, followed by why I wanted to switch. My domain was capital markets, so the discussion covered the trade lifecycle and compared equity with derivatives. It went into futures and options and how the products relate in practice. Although it was not described as an especially deep technical intervie…

    Tata Consultancy Services (North America) Business Analyst interview: client call and Hong Kong HR round

    After a recruiter screen, I had a video call with the client and project admin. They asked about the technical stack I had used, client and stakeholder communication, and my project-management experience: what I delivered, coordinated, and did to manage expectations. About a week later, I went on site to the Hong Kong office for an HR round. That stage was more straightforward, focused on fit and…
