SDE - Intern

I recently had an interview experience at Tower Research Capital for a software engineer role. The first round was a technical round and the interviewer asked questions about data structures and algorithms (DSA), operating system, and database concepts. I was asked to explain various algorithms and their time and space complexity. The interviewer also asked questions related to process management, file systems, and database normalization. The second round was more design-based, but the interviewer still asked questions about various concepts from operating systems and database management systems. The design problem was related to creating a scalable and efficient system, and I was asked to explain my thought process and approach to the solution and discuss various trade-off. Very slight coding was involved during the round. The final round was an HR round, which lasted 20 minutes. During this round, the HR representative asked me questions about my experience, interests, and goals. I also had the opportunity to ask questions about the company culture and the team I would be working with. Overall, the interview experience was challenging but enjoyable. The interviewers were knowledgeable and asked thoughtful questions that allowed me to showcase my skills and technical knowledge.

I applied through placement. The process was OA -> 2 interviews -> hr interview -> Result. Overall, the interview experience was challenging but enjoyable. The interviewers were knowledgeable and asked thoughtful questions that allowed me to showcase my skills and technical knowledge.

I believe I was selected for the role because I demonstrated a strong understanding of the relevant technical concepts and my ability to apply them to real-world situations. I also showed my passion for the role and the company through my questions and enthusiasm during the interview. Additionally, I think my approachable and personable demeanor made a positive impression on the interviewer.
