Full Experience

My interview journey for the SE1 position at DP World began in December 2021. I had 4 months of experience from a product-based startup at the time, being part of the 2021 batch from a Tier-3 college.

Round 1 (Online Assessment) - 100 mins (Hackerrank)

This round included two coding questions: one medium (string-DP based) and one hard (graph-based). Additionally, there were two easy SQL questions and 10 MCQs covering topics like Time Complexity, Output Detection, Aptitude, OS, and CS fundamentals.

Round 2 (Technical Interview 1) - 60 mins (6 days after OA)

After a brief introduction, the interviewer directly jumped into problem-solving. We discussed the following LeetCode problems:

Round 3 (Technical Interview 2) - 60 mins (8 days after OA)

This round started with a basic introduction, followed by discussions on my current projects, CS fundamentals, Java fundamentals, and OS concepts. We then moved on to solving the following LeetCode problems. The interviewer was helpful and provided hints whenever I got stuck:

Round 4 (Hiring Manager) - 60 mins (10 days after OA)

The final round involved a detailed discussion about my work at my current organization. We also covered Java fundamentals, Spring fundamentals (like IoC, different Annotations), and solved the following LeetCode problems:

There was also a discussion on approaches to solve the minimum distance traveled by a salesman to deliver all packets (Traveling Salesman Problem). Additionally, some behavioral questions related to on-call issues were asked.

I received confirmation from the recruiter about my selection on the same day as the last interview. I had requested some time after the OA and then requested shorter gaps between subsequent rounds, which is why the time stamps might vary for other candidates.
