I applied online. I interviewed at Grab (Ho Chi Minh City) in Oct 2025
Interview
Round 1: CV Screeening - ask questions related to the work experience, salary expectation, why you quit last job
Round 2: Live coding + experience - solve a medium leetcode and some questions about your experience and fundamental CS
Round 3: System design - Design a system
Round 4: Culture fit - talk with engineering manager, both tech and culture depends on interviewer
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What is the most interesting project that you had chance to work in?
5 rounds of interview:- 1. HR screening round , 2. DSA (Easy - Medium), 3. Android fundamentals + DSA 4. System Design 5. Hiring manager
Was able to crack 4 rounds, however after contacting the HR they mentioned that they had found another candidate and will be hiring him/her. Overall this whole process took 4 months because the process moves at the pace of a snail. Would not recommend anyone to go via such process.
