Verizon Interview Experience for SDE (On-Campus) 2023
Verizon recently visited our campus for an SDE role in August 2023.
Round 1: (Online Test)
- The online test consists of several sections and has a time limit.
- Sections were essay writing, coding section (2 questions) whose difficulty level was easy to medium, vocabulary section (within a specific time we can answer any number of questions), and gaming round (within a specific time we have to play maximum rounds).
Along with me, 60 others cleared the round among 600 (approximately) members.
Round 2: (Group Discussion)
- The next round was a group discussion. They have given a time slot for each group( each group has 10 members).
- As it was difficult to conduct GD online, instead, they gave each student 1 minute to speak about a given topic.
Group Discussion topics:
- About AI
- Talk about your favourite food.
- Hard work and smart work—which one do you prefer?
- Why everyone says we miss our childhood days
- About Chandrayaan 3
- Village side and city side, which is better?
- 5G technology
- Thoughts on Working from Home
- Sustainable development goals
- sports
- Digital devices
For the next round, 40 members were selected.
Round 3: Technical Interview
- The interviewer reviewed my resume and asked about me.
- Most of the questions were based on the projects that we mentioned.
- The questions the interviewer asked were:
- Explain the project’s architecture.
- How do you create a login page by implementing all security measures?
- I answered authentication and two-step verification for security, and then he asked if I entered the wrong password, and what the alert message that we get, and I answered both username and password were incorrect, and then he cross-questioned why both username and password were incorrect and why not only password is incorrect.
- If the website is prone to any DOS attack, how would you identify it?
- Real-life examples of stack queues and hash maps.
- What are memory leaks?
- How can you handle memory leaks in large projects?
- Even if you have garbage collection, do we still get any errors related to memory?
- If it is a distributed network, how do you handle the requests?
- What are your hobbies apart from academics?
- What are microprocessors?
After this round around 16 people were selected for the next round.
Round 4:(HR Interview)
- I think this was the shortest interview that I had given.
- The interviewer asked for my introduction, apart from my education and projects.
- This was the only question he asked me, and for some of my friends, he also asked them to speak for 1 minute about the given topic.
I was really scared about the result, and fortunately, I was selected for the role.
Verizon has selected 10 members from our campus.
