DSE role Interview Experience, What are my chances?
I gave my interview yesterday, and I would like to share my experience form every question and every conversation we had, please give honest answer, can I get the offer?
I was the last candidate of the day, honestly it was exhausting for both interviewer and myself.
The process began at morning 10AM and ended at 5:30 pm with a lunch break included of course.
I went into the cabin at 5 pm.
He came out and asked me if I was the last candidate, I said yes.
He asked me how are you.
Told him great,
upon entry he directly asked me, would you like to have something to eat?
since you were waiting for a long time.
I politely denied.
Then he asked me to take my seat.
He asked me to tell me about myself, I began with my name, my native place and my interests.
then asked me in which language am I comfortable in, I replied in python
Question 1- Then straight away, asked me a question gave me an array and asked me to arrange the first half of array in ascending order and the other half in descending order,
I did so and he asked me to explain it, I did explain it.
Question 2-Then gave me another array and asked me to find the LCM, I did it using built in functions.
and I explained it.
He said it is ok, but asked me to apply the logic and find it, I did explain the logic to him, he was kind of satisfied, but asked me to write a function, I tried to write it, but I couldn't.
Then he asked me to explain it again, I explained it.
Next asked me about SQL.
Question 3-First a table was given and asked to find the students as per department in an institute.
I did it using group by and explained it.
Question 4-Next he gave me another table with student name and id and asked me to combine them, basically a join.
I did it but instead of writing
INNER JOIN, I mistakenly wrote only JOIN.
except that everything else was perfect.
after that I explained it again to him.
now after that, he had to take a picture with me for some verification purposes, so I did take it.
Now, he asked me if I had some questions for him, I asked that I have been hearing a lot about infosys training culture, can you explain about it also, when does the onboarding start, he said onboarding and all your HR will connect with you, now coming to training, by the looks of it he was surprised to hear that question, and explained about mysore and stuff.
lastly, any other question? I said no.
While leaving I added, this is my first interview, I was tensed, but it was smooth, he wished me for my future.
and at the end we shook hands and said it was nice spending time with you, and also thanked me for waiting the whole day.
That's all, so what do you think folks?
do I have a chance?
