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.
