      Software Engineer Interview

      8 Sept 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Colombo
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IFS (Colombo) in Sept 2025

      Interview

      In the first technical round, the focus was on assessing the understanding of programming fundamentals, object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts, and common design patterns. I was also given a small coding exercise(Palindrome) to test problem-solving and implementation skills. Toward the end of the round, there was an IQ-style question to evaluate logical thinking.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Explain the core concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) with examples. What are the SOLID principles? Can you explain each with an example? What is Dependency Injection? How is it used in software development?

      Software Engineer Interview

      2 Oct 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Colombo, Western
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IFS (Colombo, Western) in Jul 2025

      Interview

      I applied through LinkedIn, and about two weeks later, I received an initial screening call from HR. It was a short call of around 5–10 minutes, mainly covering my experience, salary expectations, notice period, and a few related details. Four days later, I received another call informing me that I had been shortlisted for an interview. The first interview lasted about an hour and focused largely on my past experiences, with a mix of direct technical and situational questions. A week later, I was shortlisted for the second interview with the Business Operations Manager and the Reporting Manager. This was also a one-hour session. Within a week of completing the second interview, I was notified that I had been selected. The entire interview process was very friendly, and the interviewers were supportive, especially when we needed clarification on certain questions. With proper preparation, I believe the interviews can be handled quite smoothly.

      Mostly asked dealing with stakeholders related questions
