BMW Car IT interview questions

It was really good in terms of understanding all the inteview rounds, telephonic, 2 techical rounds and final interview with HR and Team Lead. The whole process took 3-4 months. Also, they give you feedback at the end why and why not they hire you if you wish.

The interview process is very slow. For all interviews, the recruiter will send you a mail after scheduling the call and ask you if you're okay with the time slots. You're not given a choice in advance. I attended all interviews remotely. The interview process goes as follows: 1. Codility coding challenge - This is a 90 minute challenge where you have to solve ~3 problems (in my case, 1 major coding challenge, 1 minor debugging problem and 1 minor Q&A). If you solve the major one successfully, you can expect to be called for the next round. I did not hear back from the recruiter after completing the challenge for about 2 weeks. The first interview was then scheduled for a date that was another 2 weeks away. 2. Initial one-on-one interview: A quick chat with a developer talking about your CV. Also involved a minor coding challenge. If you get through this round, you're then called in for a 4 hour continuous interview, that goes as follows: 3. Developer interview 1: A technical interview with 2 senior developers. I was asked multiple complex questions on C++ memory management, which I could not answer correctly. 4. Developer interview 2: A second technical interview with 2 senior developers. I was asked to design a camera system with 3 applications. I was first asked to design a block diagram on a whiteboard and then write a skeleton code of the implementation. I believe I did not meet their expectations here as well. 5. Coffee break: This is a 30-min informal discussion with the developers who interviewed you in the previous rounds. 6. Tech lead interview: This round might contain some technical questions, but it is less of a technical interview and more of a behavioral interview. However, don't take this lightly. Irrespective of your technical prowess, this interview may make or break your case. All interviewers then meet to make a decision. As I understand, you're only selected if it's a unanimous 'Yes'. By the end of the interviews, I was exhausted due to all the continuous talking and focus. 7. Feedback: You're provided a detailed feedback on the positive and negative aspects of your interviews. I believe this is not the norm and I deeply appreciate and respect the staff for their extensive feedback. Please be aware that irrespective of the role, C++ and computer architecture play a major role in your selection.
