Hi Everyone 👋

I had the privilege of participating in an on-campus interview with Samsung R&D during their visit to my college in June 2023. The interview process consisted of several rounds, each with its own unique focus.

Resume Shortlisting:
Similar to any other company, Samsung also did the resume shortlisting.
The resume shortlisting was based on following criteria:

  • Branches: COE, IT, ECE and ICE.
  • CGPA: 6 and above
  • No criteria for scores in 10th or 12th standard

Hopefully I passed all the criteria of resume shortlisting.

Round 1:

  • The first round was a online problem solving round.
  • It was a 3-hour coding round consisting of a single problem.
  • The question I got was related to 2D dynamic programming which is medium to hard level.
  • In this problem there were 50 test cases which needed to be passed to be shortlisted for the next round.

Round 2:

  • Next was a Technical Interview Round.
  • Initially, the interviewer asked some basic questions related to core CS funcdamentals like DBMS, OS, CN, etc.
  • Then, he started asking DSA questions. I was asked two questions in which one was related to linked list and another was a dynamic programming one.
  • Those who answered both questions along with optimized approach were shortlisted for the next round.

Round 3:

  • This was the final round and was a HR/Managerial Round.
  • It was a general round in which interviewer was describing the type of work being done and the project she was working on.
  • She asked some of the basic HR questions like what are your strengths and weakness, do you know anyone working in Samsung, etc.
  • She also answered some of my questions including team structure, etc.

Hope this interview experience was helpful and inspiring.

Happy Coding :)
