      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      Jul 31, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Mountain View, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Samsung Research America (Mountain View, CA) in May 2016

      Interview

      I applied this position in April. The HR team is very professional, patient and fast in the entire interview process. HR contacted me about one week after I submitted my application, and asked me about my background, basic behavioral questions, and compensation expectation. One week after the talk with HR, I had the phone interview with the Hiring Manager. No any behavioral question, all questions are focusing on the design, coding and previous projects I did. It took about 70 min. One week after the phone interview, I was asked to take a coding assessment online. 70 min for 2 puzzles. I feel like one is medium level, and one is hard level. One week after the coding assessment, I got the chance to take the on-site interview. HR team scheduled the on-site, booked the flight, rental car and nice hotel. On-site interview: 6 people in 7 hours. Lunch with one of the employees. Most people asked questions related to their daily works. Thus, if your background is a great match to the job description, then you get a great chance to get the job, but you definitely need to carefully prepare and know EVERYTHING mentioned on your resume. On-site white board coding questions are easier than the round-3 online coding assessment. Two weeks after the on-site, you should be able to get the result.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Round 1: behavioral questions with HR Round 2: phone interview with hiring manager. 70 min technical interview. Round 3: online coding assessment, 70 min 2 puzzles. Round 4: on-site, 6 people in 7 hours. Technical interviews. White board coding assessments.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Samsung Research America (New York, NY) in Feb 2020

      Interview

      Worst interview process that I have ever experienced! I would highly suggest talented people to look elsewhere as this company's way of handling interviews already tells you about their culture. The hiring manager doesn't know what he wants and the team doesn't know who or what the hiring manager is looking for. The whole team was in disarray and the onsite was very frustrating! In addition, no one followed up with feedback or even a response. At the very very least, please have the decency to respect those who interview with you and train your HR and recruiting teams to reach out to the candidates even if you are working with a partner!! To the HR responding to this post please start by replying back to all those candidates you ghosted since you can clearly see in the other interview posts, the interview feedback process you have is unethical ghosting. Good luck finding good talent for your SRA teams if this is how you treat your candidates.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Samsung Research America (Mountain View, CA) in Sep 2019

      Interview

      Interview Process is pretty much the standard like any FAANG company. 1st technical phone screen and then 4 onsite rounds. Before onsite there is one onsite technical assessment round is there where you will be give 2 questions to solve online . I think that round is ore of a formality since in one of the questions my code didn't compile and couldn't run test cases pass but still I got the offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Technical Coding Problem 2. System Design 3. Domain Knowledge Test round 4. Behavioral & System design Scenario based questions
