      Software Engineer Interview

      20 Nov 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at American Express

      Interview

      Good and very well arranged interview process. Had 2 interviews: 1 phone interview and 1 onsite. Phone interview: It was pretty technical. The interviewer covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time. Core java, javascript, Spring, basic algorithms, agile, questions based on technologies mentioned in resume etc. The interview started out basic and started expanding into many directions. If you have good depth in the core java concepts the interview should be smooth sailing. Onsite interview: The interview had 2 rounds and it was majorly behavioral. One round was known as "cognitive interview". It was basically to know how someone approaches a solution by understanding the problem rather than what the solution is. The usually tell a problem scenario and want to see how you ask questions for that problem and when finding a solution what all did you consider before arriving to the solution. The other one was called "resume review" but it was more on basic experience, future focus, why Amex sort of questions. Overall easy interview and very fast results.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions known as "Guesstimates". There are usually asked for consultant type role. But they ask them to understand your problem solving skills. Read more about "Fermi problems" to understand what they mean.
