Question 1
Explain recursion, what was a favorite project you worked on, etc?
Fairly easy. We discussed projects and hackathons on my resume, as well as my basic technical knowledge based on the languages I listed I knew. I was interviewed directly by the hiring manager and two other supporting interviewers.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at SAS (Pune) in Apr 2025
Interview
They asked me to explain about my projects, and basic questions on OOPs and JAVA. In Java, they expected me to code a few questions like the rotation of an array, which I wasn't able to do at that time. Then they gave me a sheet and expected me to tell the output of the code. Also, basic questions like two-sum array (leetcode) and implementing overriding in Java.
