      Software Development Engineer (SDE) Intern Interview

      4 Jan 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Bengaluru
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at smallcase (Bengaluru) in Oct 2021

      Interview

      The interview process was structured and smooth. From getting the first call from HR to the offer call, it took only one week. Thanks to Nivetha ma'am for conducting the complete process in an efficient manner. I interview for the position of SDE Intern (Backend) during 2021. It was a six-month Internship Offer (90% remote). I applied on their website through an employee referral. I got the HR's call asking me about interview slot preference (after my resume shortlisting probably). There were total two technical rounds (no coding test) : - First round was based on the technical skills I mentioned and basic backend development concepts. - Second round was oriented more towards my resume projects. The interviewers were friendly and helpful throughout the interview. The questions were more specific to general system design (rather than a language or framework). So you will good to go even if you have a strong base in a single tech stack. In my second interview, most of the questions were directly aimed at various extensions or modification I can do on my resume projects. I was able to decently reply to them having worked on the projects thoroughly. So always be sure and confident about everything you mention on the resume.
