I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics (Kānpur, Uttar Pradesh) in Aug 2016
Interview
Test 1 - Aptitude test (1 hr). Simple but lengthy.
Test 2- Coding round on Hackerank (1 hr). 3 questions were asked. Questions were simple. One was to output the decimal number after inverting the binary representation of input number. Second was to find maximum sum sub-array of input array. Third was on BST.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked one question- In the snake and ladder game, compute the minimum number of dice throws to complete the game. I was only asked to give rough idea of the solution.
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.
