      Software Engineer Interview

      Jun 9, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Olathe, KS
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Garmin (Olathe, KS) in May 2016

      Interview

      The interview process took 4+ weeks. I applied online and within a week a recruiter called me to set up a phone interview. Phone interview: They go through basic screening and few questions about resume. They also ask you one or two technical questions like What is the difference between overloading and overriding? They told me to tell the result in 2 weeks and exactly after 2 weeks they sent me an email saying I'm invited onsite for face to face interview. On-site interview: Onsite interview was scheduled with three different people. They were not the same people in the confirmation email they sent. One manager canceled on me and they let me go earlier without the third interview. The first part is with HR. They explain you the benefits and other stuffs. The second part was behavioral. They asked all sort of situational questions like "what are your strengths and weakness" The third part is technical. There is where I learnt that the company is more inclined towards bookish knowledge. I prepared the technical part writing code on white paper, but it was a complete shock that they asked all the questions (some 40 questions) that only checks if you know the material. They didn't check my analytical skills. Anyone fresh out of college can easily crack this interview. The interview is very very easy, but I didn't crack it because I didn't expect the interview to be like this. Not one question on coding.

      You first speak to hr, talk about your resume and experience, normal stuff. The technical started off with basic hr questions and a bit about your resume and experience. Then began to ask basic OOP concepts like Polymorphism, got asked whats difference between pass by reference and pass by value, stuff like that. Then a few coding questions in python.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Garmin (Yarmouth, ME) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      HR screening was pretty basic. Technical interview was done remotely. There were two people on the call beside myself. Questions were all technical and didn't bleed into any behavioral questions or assessments.
