What was the difficulty level of the interview? (1- very easy, 10-very difficult)
On the basis of difficulty, I would rate the interview a 8 out of 10.
Tell us about the written/online test. (Aptitude, Coding, Test Platform, etc)
The written test lasted for 45 minutes and consisted of 45 aptitude questions. The test was conducted on the Cocubes platform.
Tell us about the interview round 1 including the questions that were asked.
There were three rounds of online interviews. The first round was a technical interview lasting approximately 45-50 minutes, conducted by two interviewers. The discussion began with an overview of my resume, focusing on the skills mentioned. I was also presented with a coding question related to arrays, which was relatively straightforward. The interview primarily revolved around the content of my resume. The following round was a managerial interview conducted by a manager with approximately 10-15 years of experience. The discussion primarily focused on basic HR questions, including inquiries about my family background, hobbies, college activities, daily routine, involvement in extracurriculars, and ongoing or previous projects. The manager also delved into how I handled conflicts in my previous projects. This round extended for about 45-50 minutes.
Tell us about the HR interviews, if any, specifying the number of rounds and questions asked.
The HR round was relatively brief, lasting about 5-10 minutes. The HR representative provided information about various clauses mentioned, discussed the offered CTC, and the location. Additionally, questions were posed regarding my motivation to join Ericsson and whether I had any other offers in hand.
According to you, what role do extracurricular activities as well as participation in societies play?
Being a part of the society connects you directly with seniors, enabling you to seek their guidance on preparation strategies and the next steps in your journey. It also facilitates connections with peers, cultivating a more vocal and expressive nature that, in turn, enhances leadership skills and contributes to the overall development of your personality.
Were there any companies you got rejected from after appearing for their interview? If yes, then tell us about your rejection story and what do you think were the reasons for your rejection?
I interviewed with ION, Barclays, Arista Networks, and Kick Drum. I can’t pinpoint the exact reason; perhaps it was due to my lack of practice, or maybe the interviews for other students went more smoothly than mine.
