I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics (Pilani) in Aug 2013
Interview
The interview was for campus recruitment (BITS, Pilani India).
The interview process was straight forward.
2 technical interviews and 1 HR interview.
Basic Data Structure, Algorithms, and Operating systems questions were asked in the first interview. Resume and project based questions were asked in the second technical interview.
HR interview was just a formality.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q. Some OS questions related to deadlocks and semaphores. Samsung was the only company asking questions other than Data Structures and Algorithms. This took me by surprise.
The interview mainly focused on Data Structures and Algorithms. Most questions were from Graphs and Dynamic Programming, with graph problems involving BFS and related traversal techniques. The discussion emphasized problem-solving skills, algorithm optimization, and coding implementation.
Two interview rounds: an initial HR screening call, followed by a technical discussion with a Samsung employee, and a final HR round. Overall, the process was smooth, structured, and well-coordinated.
I interviewed at Samsung Electronics (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
In person interviews, asked two leetcode easy questions but need to write code on paper. They focus a lot on your past experiences as well. Know the skills you put on your resume and you will be fine.
