The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics (Bengaluru) in Oct 2011
Interview
The interview was preceded by a GSAT test that was quite easy. The interviewer seemed like a nice guy who was looking for reasons to hire me. To be honest, I was very nervous and was not very confident about my answers but he gave me ample time and opportunity. He was not confined to a specific topic. He asked questions from everything. He was there to hire. We even had a little discussion about a memory management problem. And even though I was doubtful of a positive result but all ended well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How can you write a program that returns all the empty memory addresses present in the system(RAM)???
The interview mainly focused on Data Structures and Algorithms. Most questions were from Graphs and Dynamic Programming, with graph problems involving BFS and related traversal techniques. The discussion emphasized problem-solving skills, algorithm optimization, and coding implementation.
Two interview rounds: an initial HR screening call, followed by a technical discussion with a Samsung employee, and a final HR round. Overall, the process was smooth, structured, and well-coordinated.
I interviewed at Samsung Electronics (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
In person interviews, asked two leetcode easy questions but need to write code on paper. They focus a lot on your past experiences as well. Know the skills you put on your resume and you will be fine.
